Donaldjohanson, a main belt asteroid, could be a relic of a cosmic collision that took place 150 million years ago.
Asteroids of this size regularly pass through the Earth's neighborhood, often unnoticed, unless they are actively tracked by NASA and other space agencies. The continuous monitoring of near-Earth ...
A NASA spacecraft far from Earth has made an unexpected discovery, after turning its instruments towards a dark patch of sky ...
The dinosaurs, of course, could do nothing about the killer asteroid, other than presumably waving their tiny arms at the oncoming doom. But if they did have a space program — and yes ...
Most asteroids rather conveniently live in a place between Mars and Jupiter known as the asteroid belt, but some can make their way a little closer to earth, where they can cause problems.
