The incredible aftermath of the Chicxulub asteroid impact—one of the most cataclysmic events in Earth’s history—is unfolding ...
An image captured by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) when it discovered asteroid 2024 YR4. Credit: ATLAS / NASA An asteroid discovered late last year is expected to be in our ...
The range of possible locations – represented by yellow points – of 2024 YR4 on Dec. 22, 2032. The range decreased from April to June as we gained more data and improved our certainty of the ...
At this point in history, astronomers and engineers who grew up watching Deep Impact and Armageddon, two movies about the destructive power of asteroid impacts, are likely in relatively high ranking ...
A decades-long scientific debate over the origins of the Silverpit Crater in the southern North Sea has been resolved. New evidence confirms that it was caused by an asteroid or comet impact about ...
The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists’ minds. The building-sized object, which initially appeared to be on a potential collision course with Earth, is ...
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 ...
Richard Binzel has been watching the skies for hazardous asteroids for more than 50 years. In 1995, he proposed the Near-Earth Object Hazard Index, later renamed the Torino scale, which rates ...
On February 13, 2023, the sky across France and England was briefly illuminated by a small meteor burning. It was slightly less than 1 meter (3 feet) across, and then known as Sar 2667. It is now ...
