"It made me realize that I'm not in charge of things. I can't fix everything, and maybe everything's actually out of our hands.” ...

The Japanese Hayabusa2 spacecraft visited the asteroid Ryugu, which had flowing water for over a billion years. This unexpected discovery, made when the spacecraft collected and returned samples, adds ...

A new study in Nature has revealed unexpected evidence that the asteroid Ryugu once had liquid water flowing through it. The results come from tiny rock samples collected by JAXA’s Hayabusa2 ...

NASA's DART mission proved we are able to change an asteroid's path by smashing a spacecraft into it, but exactly where we hit a rocky body is important ...

“The most likely trigger was an impact on a larger asteroid parent of Ryugu, which fractured the rock and melted buried ice, ...

Asteroid deflection could backfire if the impact shoves the rock into a cosmic keyhole, a hidden trapdoor in space.

NASA indicated that asteroid 2025 FA22's size is estimated to be nearly twice the size of the famous Qutub Minar in Delhi, ...

FA22 follows a moderately elongated, slightly tilted orbit around the sun, with an orbital period of roughly 1.85 years.

NASA confirms that asteroid 2025 FA22 will pass Earth. The rock measures about 520 feet across. It travels at 24,127 miles ...

When engineers at a control center in Turin, Italy, sent a faint radio signal into space, they set off a world-first ...

Scientists warn that deflecting asteroids could inadvertently direct them through gravitational keyholes, potentially causing delayed impacts on Earth.

When a massive asteroid is hurtling toward Earth, the solution seems straightforward; smash a spacecraft into it and knock it off course.
