Venus Harbors Secret Asteroids That Could Threaten Earth, Study Warns Dangerous rocks may co-orbit with Venus, but new research suggests only a space-based mission can prove it.

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.

Asteroids with ‘unstable orbits’ hide around Venus—do they threaten Earth? New research on the orbits of these mysterious asteroids near Venus stress the need for better space rock surveillance.

But because these hidden asteroids can change their trajectories relative to Venus, it's possible they could be diverted on a path toward Earth sometime in the coming millennia.

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 (au) of Earth's orbit ...

Venus currently hosts 20 known co-orbitals, including "Trojan" asteroids and the peculiar quasi-moon Zoozve. These objects, each exceeding 460 feet in diameter, could devastate urban areas if they ...

Although their orbits keep them relatively stable with Venus, some still pass within 0.05 astronomical units of Earth's orbit.
