I’m not sure whether it was elementary school science classes or Fred Flintstone’s Brontosaurus burgers that made the giant herbivore one of the most recognizable dinosaurs to me as a kid. But for ...

The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) is a small satellite already orbiting Earth. IBEX has special instruments gathering ...

Amazon's next group of Kuiper satellites could soon reach orbit, propelling the company closer to providing internet to customers around the world.

Amazon's next group of Kuiper satellites could soon launch from Florida, propelling the company closer to providing internet service to customers.

The initiative is named after the Kuiper belt, a doughnut-shaped region of icy bodies in our solar system extending far beyond the orbit of Neptune – the farthest planet from the sun. The Kuiper Belt ...

Rather, Levison said the asteroid may resemble a bowling pin or even a snowman like Arrokoth, the Kuiper Belt object visited by NASA’s New Horizon spacecraft in 2019.

The amount of energy needed to get to the Kuiper belt and then propel an asteroid to Mars could be equivalent to several years of total energy consumption here on Earth, Czechowski estimates.

Astronomers have revealed new sources of meteorites within the solar system's asteroid belt, helping us understand where potentially hazardous asteroids might also originate.

Meteorites: A geologic map of the asteroid belt Knowing from what debris field in the asteroid belt our meteorites originate is important for planetary defense efforts against Near Earth Asteroids.

Geologic map of the asteroid belt. Circles identify the asteroid families from which our meteorites originate and letters mark the corresponding meteorite type. The horizontal axis ranges from short ...
