New simulations reveal that the climate, atmospheric chemistry and even global photosynthesis would be dramatically disrupted by an asteroid collision ...

The potential risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth in 2032 dropped to nearly zero following new observations that helped better predict the asteroid's trajectory.

If Asteroid 2024 YR4 were to strike Earth, the energy released could be equivalent to 8 megatons of TNT, capable of devastating an area the size of Washington, D.C. Travis Kelce Admits Financial ...

It measures 130 to 300 feet across, a pebble compared to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, which is estimated to have been six to nine miles in length. On the other hand, on Feb. 15, 2013, an ...

Countless asteroids in our solar system, some close, some far — but did you know that some of these space rocks have names?

The precise VLT observations, along with data collected by other observatories, allowed astronomers to more accurately model the asteroid's orbit and assess its impact probability, according to a ...

GRAND FORKS, ND — Astronomers have turned their high-powered telescopes toward a 100-meter wide asteroid hurtling in its orbit through the Milky Way galaxy and are hoping it doesn’t collide wi ...

Our model, which begins with the degassing of ice from the original asteroid belt, successfully accounts for the amount of water needed to form oceans, rivers and lakes, and even the water buried ...
