To close this gap, NASA is building the Near-Earth Object Surveyor, a space telescope designed to detect asteroids using ...

These meteors and asteroids hit Earth. In 2016, a huge fireball lit up the Florida night sky and shocked everyone who saw it. In 2015, a driver in Thailand captured an impressive meteor on a dashboard ...

The asteroids are as large as around 75 and 91 feet in diameter, according to the Center for Near Earth Object Studies.

NASA is closely tracking two asteroids, 2025 VW and 2025 VC2 that are around 1-2 million miles away from the planet.

A hidden population of asteroids sharing Venus' orbit could threaten Earth in a few thousand years, and we might not even see them coming without better telescopes. These so-called Venus co-orbital ...

"With these probability maps, we can push asteroids away while preventing them from returning on an impact trajectory, protecting the Earth in the long run." When it comes to saving Earth from a ...

Two plane-sized asteroids will rocket past Earth today at speeds of up to 28,000 mph, according to Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The two asteroids, 2025 QB5 and 2025 QK3, will pass within 2.81 ...

A possible threat to life on Earth has been identified by researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil: asteroids that share Venus’s orbit but which currently can’t be detected. These ...

Scientists caution that asteroid deflection must be precise, as striking the wrong spot risks sending it through a gravitational keyhole that sets up a future collision with Earth. Using lessons from ...

The "potentially hazardous" asteroid 2025 FA22 will fly close past Earth at more than 24,000 mph on Thursday (Sept. 18). The space rock was previously predicted to have a slim chance of impacting our ...
