SPACERecent analyses performed on asteroid Ryugu reveal that the asteroid is rich in organic compounds necessary for facilitating life. Read to learn more.
The NEOMIR orbiting observatory will be placed between the Sun and Earth to act as an early warning system against asteroids coming towards the planet. Read on to learn more details.
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.
Check out the list of "potentially hazardous" near-Earth objects (NEOs) that will make a close approach to the planet this year as they come within 0.05 astronomical units close.
The proposed future cities in space involve hollowing asteroids and using artificial gravity that borders between reality and science fiction as it would need engineering capacities that do not exist today. Check out how scientists plan to achieve this.
Analyzing the plants’ charred remains can validate the asteroid strikes’ locations in the distant past, the new study reveals. Read to know more about it.
NASA fixed the solar array of Lucy, but the asteroid spacecraft could not interact with Earth via its antenna due to its position. Read more to know the other challenges it faces as it carries out its mission.
What's worse than an asteroid hitting Earth? Scientists said that would be two asteroids hitting the same location at the same time. Continue reading to know if it's likely to happen.
NASA’s Psyche mission has been moved to a later date this year. Read to know more about the postponement, as well as the other missions of the space agency.
New analyses show that researchers found the informational units that would show evidence of life on Earth. Know what chemical reactions have to do with it.
A planetary scientist is working on a pulverizing system to destroy asteroids before they hit Earth. Learn more about his technology through this article.
Asteroids 2019 PR2 and 2019 QR6 were first discovered separately in 2019 and are reported to have broken off from the same asteroid just three centuries ago.
Researchers used a crater detection algorithm to date back impact craters on Mars to know the geological history of the planet and found that impact flux is consistent in the inner Solar System.
Previously, NASA said that at present, no hazardous asteroids are coming their way to affect the planet but many now wonder, what will happen if one did hit the Earth?
Astronomers and high school students in China detected zodiacal light in the skies of a few potentially habitable exoplanets, which could give scientists a clue of what other planets may look like.
Scientists analyzed meteorites that traveled from Mars and landed on Earth and came up with a new theory of how the two planets formed, contradicting an existing theory of their origins.
