The spacecraft grabbed so much of the asteroid Bennu, its sample-collection device got jammed. Now the material is safe and sound. A series of images from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission show the ...

The OSIRIS-REx team at mission control in Littleton, Colorado, cheers after the announcement of a successful touch-and-go maneuver by the spacecraft on the asteroid Bennu. Team members from the UA ...

Researchers predict that a collision with the asteroid Bennu would plunge Earth into a year's long 'impact winter'.

We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

New ultraprecise measurements show that the asteroid Bennu has a higher chance than thought of impacting our planet sometime in the next 300 years, NASA says.

Scientists have identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful ...

Dust particles thrown up from deserts such as the Sahara and Gobi are playing a previously unknown role in air pollution, a new study has found.

Nearly two years after launch, the University of Arizona-led OSIRIS-REx mission caught its first glimpse of the asteroid Bennu on Aug. 17 from 1.4 million miles away.

Science News: IIT Guwahati researchers have discovered a new method for detecting SARS-CoV-2. The method involves observing how clay particles settle in salt water.

Results from a new animal study suggest that microscopic plastic particles found in food and beverages may affect glucose metabolism and harm organs such as the liver. The findings raise concerns ...

Jaipur tragedy: Four dead while extracting gold, silver particles from septic tank 8 workers were sent inside 10-foot deep tank to extract particles, 2 in critical condition ...

These detectors recently found the most energetic neutrino ever recorded. Similar particles, shot out from black holes, could carry the signature of new physics—perhaps even dark matter.
