(137108) 1999 AN 10 is a kilometer-length near-Earth asteroid and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group.It was discovered by LINEAR on 13 January 1999. [5]On 7 August 2027, this asteroid will pass at about 0.00261 AU (390,000 km; 243,000 mi; 1.02 LD) of the Earth's center.
It will make a close approach to Earth on 6 June 2027 at 0.0308 AU (4,610,000 km), [1] becoming as bright as apparent magnitude 9.7 on 8 June 2027, [6] and even closer on 5 June 2058 at 0.0231 AU (3,460,000 km). It also made a close approach to Venus on 5 October 2012 at 0.0567 AU (8,480,000 km) and will again on 3 September 2041 at 0.0581 AU ...
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.
NASA TV will start a live broadcast at 6 p.m. ET on Monday, September 26. Actual scenes of the DART collision with Dimorphos are expected at 7:14 p.m. ET. Actual scenes of the DART collision with ...
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 ...
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 ...
Hera is a spacecraft developed by the European Space Agency for its space safety program. Its primary mission objective is to study the Didymos binary asteroid system that was impacted four years earlier by the NASA Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft and contribute to validation of the kinetic impact method to deviate a near-Earth asteroid from a colliding trajectory with Earth.
