Venus's co-orbital asteroids are considered potentially hazardous asteroids (PHA) if they have "a minimum diameter of about 140 meters and come within 0.05 astronomical units ...

A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, astronomers have warned.

One problem in determining their danger is that co-orbitals have unpredictable orbits. "The co-orbital asteroids of Venus are highly chaotic, with Lyapunov times of the order of 150 years," the ...

Sandia scientist John Sandusky believes he has found a way to put heliostats, which typically turn solar energy into ...

Venus currently has at least 20 co-orbital asteroids that have the potential to “approach the Earth,” according to a new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

New research claims that Venus could be hiding dangerous asteroids capable of destruction if they collide with Earth.
