There's a very cool experiment attached to a spacecraft on its way to a potentially metal asteroid. Late last year, NASA scientists pressed start on a highly anticipated space mission. Basically ...
A NASA experiment that sent a spacecraft slamming into the side of an asteroid may have sent debris flying into space, possibly into the path of Mars. The asteroid, named Dimorphos, was hit by ...
Scientists have calculated the rotational speed of asteroid 2024 BX1, which exploded over Berlin earlier this year, by letting it trail in images of the sky. It turns out, 2024 BX1 was spinning ...
Let's see what the Martian moon Deimos is all about, shall we? The journey into space is a long one, which gives many spacecraft time for a side quest or two during their missions. In the case of ...
NASA fixed a remote link to the 46-year-old Voyager 1 space probe on Monday, according to an update from the agency. The probe had been sending “gibberish” code back to NASA because of a ...
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) resulted in the asteroid called Dimorphos being shattered and knocked off its original orbit, a groundbreaking mission that proved Earth has the ...
Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope collaborates with ESA on a mission targeting small main belt asteroids to deepen understanding of early solar system mysteries. Managed by Nasa's Goddard Center and ...
While small asteroids keep zipping past Earth at fairly regular intervals some of the bigger ones are not that frequent. And now, US space agency NASA says that one asteroid that is as big as 280 ...
Good news, fans of witnessing astronomical events without being obliterated by them: Potentially hazardous asteroid 2013 NK4 is making a close approach this week, and you can view it as it flies past.
Late last year, NASA scientists pressed start on a highly anticipated space mission. Basically, they launched a spacecraft toward an asteroid that could very well be made entirely of metal, a ...
