NASA's OSIRIS-REx, which gathered and returned a sample of asteroid Bennu in September, has been renamed OSIRIS-APophis EXplorer (OSIRIS-APEX) and sent on a trajectory that would allow it to cross ...
Nasa is about to set off to a distant, metal asteroid that could tell us how planets form. On Friday, the spacecraft – currently folded in the cargo bay of a SpaceX rocket – will leave from ...
The Earth will be hit by a tiny asteroid today, astronomers have said. But the tiny asteroid – which is roughly one metre in size – will burn up in the atmosphere as it arrives. That means it ...
Asteroid impact prediction is the prediction of the dates and times of asteroids impacting Earth, along with the locations and severities of the impacts. The process of impact prediction follows three major steps: Discovery of an asteroid and initial assessment of its orbit which is generally based on a short observation arc of less than 2 weeks.
In September 2022, NASA’s DART mission intentionally slammed into Dimorphos, a small moon orbiting the near-Earth asteroid Didymos, to demonstrate the technology needed to alter the trajectory ...
The crash, which NASA broadcast live, is believed to have altered Dimorphos's trajectory. Exactly how much remains to be determined and will depend on whether Dimorphos is found through further ...
