Asteroid 2026 EG1 was discovered on March 8, less than one week ago.

The NASA DART spacecraft shifted the orbits of two asteroids around the sun after intentionally crashing into one of them.

According to the space agency's tracking, the rock is hurtling through space at more than 21,500 miles per hour.

A 140-foot space rock, Asteroid 2007 EG, will pass relatively close to Earth soon. Scientists say it’s harmless, yet they’re watching carefully. Why does this flyby matter for future asteroid defence?

NASA's DART mission didn’t just change the orbit of Dimorphos, the asteroid it hit. It changed the orbit of the larger ...

A bus-size asteroid known as 2026 EG1 flew past Earth closer than the moon late Thursday. Here's what NASA had to say about ...

The asteroid, which was about the size of a humpback whale or a school bus, passed within 200,000 miles of Earth Thursday night, before heading out to space.

NASA said earlier this month that an asteroid that at one point had a 4% chance of hitting the moon will miss the lunar ...

Don't fret, the moon is safe from a potential "city killer" asteroid collision in half-a-dozen years, astronomers now say. Asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to hit the moon in 2032, is now expected to ...

New observations have ruled out the chances of an asteroid hitting the moon in 2032, according to scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope.

NASA’s DART mission changed the Dimorphos' asteroid orbit around the Sun, proving spacecraft impacts could help defend Earth.

It is the first man-made object to have shifted the orbit of a naturally occurring entity in space.
