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 ...
In 2022, NASA launched the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft, whose sole goal was to fly 7 million miles to the 525-foot asteroid Dimorphos, and crash into it at 14,000 miles per ...
A newly discovered asteroid named 2024 YR4 now has a 2.2% chance of affecting Earth in 2032 after recent observations. ... Automated asteroid warning systems sent out an alarm after determining ...
"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 ...
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.
The asteroid 3122 Florence, one of the largest PHAs [30] with a diameter of 4.5 km (2.8 mi), has two moons measuring 100–300 m (330–980 ft) across, which were discovered by radar imaging during the asteroid's 2017 approach to Earth.
