The recently discovered comet is the third interstellar object discovered wandering through our solar system.
This cosmic visitor is now officially named 3I/ATLAS, and it appears to be a comet from another solar system.
The freshly minted telescope discovered 2,000 previously unknown asteroids in just 10 hours. Weirdly, NASA doesn’t seem to care.
The spacecraft is en route to a metal-rich asteroid. Hopefully, its backup propellant line can get it there by August 2029.
The space agency is investigating an issue with the spacecraft's fuel pressure.
Asteroid Donaldjohanson has turned out to be a picturesque waypoint as NASA’s mission heads toward Jupiter’s Trojan asteroids.
The mission is set for a close encounter with the small main belt asteroid Donaldjohanson on April 20.
Astronomers have traced the origin of asteroid 2024 YR4, which appears to have broken off from a larger space rock.
New Webb Telescope data confirms that asteroid 2024 YR4 poses no threat to Earth during its 2032 flyby. As for the Moon, not so much.
The ESA probe spotted the moon while en route to witness the aftermath of NASA's asteroid deflection test.
AstroForge's attempt to launch the first commercial deep space mission fell apart shortly after liftoff.
The main belt asteroid Donaldjohanson is now in sight as the Discovery Program mission prepares for a flyby of the object in April.
2024 YR4 turned heads when it became the most dangerously rated asteroid earlier this week.
2024 YR4's odds jumped to a 1-in-32 chance of impact, though that number will likely fall as the asteroid continues to be monitored.
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth are shifting, with the space rock now carrying a 1-in-48 chance of collision.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.2% chance of striking Earth in seven years, but recent updates keep pushing the odds in the wrong direction.
Bennu has a 1-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth in 2182, causing a global winter and drought.
A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause on Earth.
The discovery is a capstone achievement for NASA, which went to great lengths to secure and deliver asteroid samples from asteroid Bennu in 2020.
The asteroid, designated 2024 YR4, jumped to the top of NASA's risk chart, with a slim but measurable chance of striking Earth in just seven years.
