Scientists investigated a comet within the main asteroid belt and discovered water vapor, which may uncover the origin of Earth's water crucial for supporting life. Read the article to learn more.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was able to pick up a tiny colosseum-sized asteroid, which is probably the smallest that the prominent telescope has ever detected. Read to know more.
Delving into the Trojan asteroids that surround Jupiter, NASA's Lucy is on a mission to conduct a close-up analysis of the asteroids and learn more about the solar system's origins. Read to know more about this mission.
A new space rock (248370) 2005 QN173 was confirmed as both comet and asteroid, making it a super-rare hybrid comet that is a member of the main asteroid belt.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) just announced its next interplanetary mission that will send a spacecraft to orbit Venus. This announcement comes eight months after its achievement of sending the Hope probe to Mars.
NASA's Lucy mission is anticipated to obtain astronomical breakthroughs on its 12-year investigation of space rocks that involves the Trojan asteroids and the asteroid belt itself.
A new study attempts to solve the impossible problems around the asteroid belt's gigantic space rock, Vesta. Its craters could hold information about its early existence, as much as of Earth's.
A recent planetary and astronomical findings theorized that the dinosaur killer space rock Chicxulub was a dark primitive asteroid that originiated from the inner regions of the asteroid belt.
NASA is sending a mission to study the 16 Psyche asteroid that will arrive in 2026. Scientists believe that it is packed full of precious metals that could be worth $10,000 quadrillion
JAXA astronomers discovered two red rocks in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter where they should not be. Both rocks are found to have a complex organic matter that might hint at the chaotic origins of the Solar System.
Releasing the sharpest set of images from within the asteroid belt to date, this week NASA researchers have filled the internet with their hopes for what may lie on the dwarf planet Ceres. Only a month before NASA’s Dawn spacecraft will enter orbit around the 590-mile-wide dwarf, found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, the space agency is hopeful that their mission will reveal a lot more about the small planet and the secrets its surface may hold.
Only a month before starting its orbit around the dwarf planet Ceres in our solar system's main asteroid belt, NASA's Dawn spacecraft has revealed the sharpest images of the mysterious dwarf planet to date.
NASA has revealed that new data from the Dawn spacecraft indicates that there may have once been short-lived water flows on the second largest body in the asteroid belt, known to us as Vesta.
