Researchers link EO performance targets to collision risk, helping protect orbits while maintaining Earth observation.
If Titan formed from a merger, the researchers found, its eccentric orbit could destabilize smaller moons closer to Saturn, ...
Scientists already knew this could be a doozy. Astronomers previously estimated if 2024 YR4 hits the moon, it could form a crater about one kilometer wide and release some 100 million metric tons of ...
The CRASH Clock is a new predictor of how much time there will be before a collision if a solar storm knocks out power and ...
Astronomy has the opportunity to be more than a victim of growth. It can be a driver of infrastructure, education and long-term exploration. By articulating its needs clearly and aligning with the ...
This hypothesis has the advantage of explaining why the rings have a lot of ice and little rock, in contrast to models where a moon strayed inside Saturn’s Roche limit and was pulled apart.
In a newly filed FCC application, Musk’s SpaceX outlines plans to launch a data center constellation of up to 1 million ...

Low-Earth orbit’s grace period before a collision has shrunk to days
In low-Earth orbit, the time margin that used to isolate routine operations and an accident has been reduced in months to ...
Thousands of “city killer” asteroids remain undetected, NASA warns, and no ready spacecraft exists to stop one. A recent close call exposed gaps that scientists say still leave Earth vulnerable.
