The seismic signature of a fireball meteoroid event can be used to tell whether the fireball fragmented or remained intact as it fell through the atmosphere, according to new research published in ...

UA student Adriana Mitchell sees her future in space — and is getting the chance now to do work on a mission to an asteroid. “Ultimately I want to be an astronaut, especially doing research on ...

In 2020, after the OSIRIS-REx probe reached the asteroid Bennu, it collected a sample from a type of primordial projectile thought to have delivered life’s building blocks to early Earth.

Asteroid 33 Polyhymnia May Contain Elements Not Yet Seen On Earth The asteroid is so dense, physicists say it could contain elements outside the periodic table.

A plane-sized asteroid scheduled to pass Earth next week is making headlines, but NASA experts want the public to understand why this encounter is more routine than remarkable.

Its size earned the asteroid the nickname “city killer” since it could cause severe damage to a city or region if it struck Earth. 2024 YR4 is the temporary name given to the rock.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists' minds. It now poses a threat to the moon, rather than Earth.

The asteroid 2025 OW measures about 210 feet in length. It is reported to pass by Earth on July 28, 2025, at a distance of 393,000 miles, which is about 1.6 times the average distance to the moon.

Observations of a young star offer a glimpse of the high-temperature conditions that shaped rock formation in the early Solar System.

NASA is monitoring an airplane-sized asteroid that is expected to zoom past the Earth on July 28 at a zippy 46,908 miles per hour. The space rock—known as 2025 OW—is estimated to be about 210 ...

The Asteroid Institute has initiated a service that allows users to calculate spacecraft trajectories and propulsion requirements between Solar System objects.
