An international team of astronomers has discovered an asteroid that spins so fast, it should've torn itself apart.

Measuring around 41 feet in diameter, the asteroid is speeding towards our planet at more than 38,500 miles per hour.

But Rubin’s early data is confounding. Among the newly discovered asteroids, researchers identified 76 with reliable spin ...

Astronomers say the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has detected an asteroid that spins faster than other space rocks of its size.

The space rock, known as "2026 AJ" and 40 feet in diameter, is hurtling toward our planet at around 20,500 miles per hour.

2025 MN45 isn't the overall spin-rate record holder. Astronomers have found a number of small asteroids — those just a few ...

In its preliminary data release, taken from just seven nights of observations, the powerful Vera C. Rubin Observatory has ...
