The Weaubleau structure is a probable meteorite impact site in western Missouri near the towns of Gerster, Iconium, Osceola, and Vista. It is believed to have been caused by a 1,200-foot (370 m) meteoroid between 335 and 340 million years ago [ 1 ] during the middle Mississippian Period (Latest Osagean to Earliest Meramecian ).
Astronomers discovered a car-size asteroid hours before it slammed into Earth and burned up in the atmosphere this past weekend, news sources report.Scientists in Hawaii initially spotted the ...
The asteroid, called 2024 UQ, was first spotted on 22 October by the Asteroid Terrestrial Impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS, a telescope network scanning the sky for space rocks likely headed for ...
That process has started to unfold since the asteroid was first spotted late last year on a potential collision course with Earth in 2032. For a time, the odds of impact fluctuated around 1% ...
An animation of 2008 TC3's excited rotation prior to entering the atmosphere. The asteroid was discovered by Richard A. Kowalski at the Catalina Sky Survey (CSS) 1.5-meter telescope at Mount Lemmon, north of Tucson, Arizona, US, on October 6, 06:39 UTC, 19 hours before the impact.
When Apophis was first spotted two decades ago, it initially carried a 2.7% chance of impacting Earth during its 2029 flyby – then a record.. While YR4's impact odds have unseated Apophis, the ...
For example, the Ishim impact structure [141] is conjectured to be bounded by the late Ordovician-early Silurian (c. 445 ± 5 Ma), [142] the two Warburton basins have been linked to the Late Devonian extinction (c. 360 Ma), [312] both Bedout and the Wilkes Land crater have been associated with the severe Permian–Triassic extinction event (c ...
