J002E3 is an object in space which is thought to be the S-IVB third stage of the Apollo 12 Saturn V rocket. It was discovered on September 3, 2002, by amateur astronomer Bill Yeung . Initially thought to be an asteroid , it has since been tentatively identified as the third stage of Apollo 12 Saturn V based on spectrographic evidence consistent ...
"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said. An asteroid could hit Earth in 2032, NASA ...
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032, NASA reports. Astronomers all over the world are watching the asteroid, trying to narrow down its future path.
Sine we figured out what it is, the name J002E3 is a bit of a distraction. The S-IVB-507 article could talk about the part's manufacture, testing, and flight as well as its re-discovery as J002E3. It would also be more appropriate then to include pictures of S-IVB-507 from a time when it was much closer to the camera.
Another American company established with the goal of space mining, AstroForge, plans to launch the probe Odin (formerly Brokkr-2) at the end of February 2025, [194] with the goal of performing a flyby of asteroid 2022 OB 5 [195] to confirm if it is a metal-rich M-type asteroid, [196] and then follow it up later in 2025 with the probe Vestri ...

The X-group contains the types: core X-type containing the asteroids with the most "typical" spectra; Xe-type of asteroids whose spectra contain a moderately broad absorption band around 0.49 μm. It has been suggested that this indicates the presence of troilite (FeS). There is some correlation between this group and the Tholen E-type.
