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 ...

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.

NASA is monitoring a plane-sized asteroid zooming past the Earth on Thursday at around 13,600 miles per hour. The space rock known as "2022 YS5" made its closest approach at around 4.15 million ...

Space & Spaceflight Deflecting a Killer Asteroid Is More Complicated Than NASA Thought Scientists still have much to learn about the potentially life-saving "kinetic impactor technique." ...

In 2022, NASA successfully altered an asteroid’s orbit using a kinetic impact test, marking a breakthrough in planetary defense. Upcoming missions from ESA, JAXA, and NASA aim to study asteroids ...

Scientists found that NASA's DART spacecraft ejected a massive barrage of boulders when it bashed into asteroid Dimorphos in 2022.

Scientists have examined the interstellar invader 3I/ATLAS, finding evidence that it is packed with water that could be older than the solar system.

Analysis of an ancient meteorite suggests that rocky planets both near and distant from the sun may have formed at the same time, challenging current models of our solar system’s evolution.

The action is unfolding in a location comparable to the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter containing the leftover building blocks of our solar system’s planets.
