Lucy’s next stop — “the main event,” as Levison calls it — will be the Trojan asteroids that share Jupiter’s orbit around the ...

NASA's Lucy spacecraft recently got an up-close look at a strange peanut-shaped space rock floating through the cosmos in the ...

The asteroid 2024 YR4 shifted its course from Earth but brought fresh dangers to the Moon. Astronomers have tracked this space rock, which scientists first discovered in late December 2024. Research ...

Don't worry – it's still not a danger to Earth for the time being. When we last checked in, odds of a collision between 2024 YR4 and Earth were at just 0.001 percent, far too low to be considered ...

The rate places its risk of collision above Asteroid 99942 Apophis, the "God of Chaos", discovered in 2004 that was given a 2.7 percent chance of hitting Earth by 2029. NASA’s Center for Near ...

The asteroid that caused panic about potentially colliding with Earth is the size of a building, Nasa has found. The Webb Space Telescope has captured more information and detailed pictures of ...

But new direct observations of the asteroid by Nasa’s James Webb Space ... even a 1 per cent chance of a rock this big hitting the Earth may warrant the development of deflection missions.

A “city-killer” asteroid previously thought to be on a collision course with the Earth could smash into the Moon instead, new data suggests. Asteroid 2024 YR4 caused global concern after its discovery ...

"These early images of Donaldjohanson are again showing the tremendous capabilities of the Lucy spacecraft as an engine of ...
