Planetary scientists have published a detailed follow-up on the debris from their historic 2022 asteroid impact experiment in outer space.

On 26 September 2022, the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) deliberately slammed a vending-machine-size spacecraft into ...

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

An asteroid discovered late last year is expected to be in our neck of space in 2032.. The good news? It's not coming for Earth. Asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer visible, but NASA squeezed in one ...

In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid. The mission, dubbed the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), aimed to ...

The asteroid Dimorphos, left, is shown with its larger companion Didymos in space as it blasts dust and boulders in a lopsided debris cone following the NASA DART mission on Sept. 26, 2022.

As a result, the asteroid’s probability of impacting the Moon has slightly increased from 3.8% to 4.3%. In the small chance that the asteroid were to impact, it would not alter the Moon’s orbit.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a below 0.5% chance of hitting the Earth, according to observations from NASA and other astronomers. Another asteroid, Aphophis, received some attention after its discovery ...

On Feb. 24, NASA announced an official "all clear" on social media, reporting the impact probability had dropped to just 0.004% and that the asteroid is "expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032 ...

June 19 (UPI) --NASA has announced that an asteroid about 200 feet in diameter is now slightly more likely to crash into the moon.According to the newest data collected, NASA's Center for Near ...

In late 2022, NASA celebrated its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) as a massive success, a proof of concept for saving humanity in case a similar space rock were to ever head straight for ...
