Just the third-ever confirmed interstellar object has been detected in our solar system. Here's what we know. (Spoiler: It's ...
Astronomers are making a surprising breakthrough in the study of Venus, as new simulations suggest there may be a hidden ...
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.
Of these ‘six invisible threats’, three named 2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1 ‘have a severe risk of collision’ as their orbits allow them to approach Earth within 0.05 astronomical units ...
However, the powers that be better hurry, as researchers predict that co-orbital asteroids’ orbits could become unpredictable in just more than 150 years — a blip in the interstellar timescale.
In a landmark moment for modern astronomy, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has unveiled its first-ever test images, and they’re ...
Because their orbits are unstable, a possibility exists that the asteroids could break off from their current trajectory and one day head on a collision course for Earth. The Venusian space rocks ...
Measuring approximately 120 feet in width, the asteroid will fly by at a velocity of 31,204 km/h, maintaining a safe distance ...
Space enthusiasts are tracking Asteroid 2025 MM. It is airplane-sized. It will safely pass by Earth this week. The asteroid ...
The first videos released by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory reveal thousands of drifting asteroids, hundreds of thousands of stars and millions of distant galaxies.
With a spectacular array of galaxies and nebulas, the ambitious telescope begins its 10-year survey of the cosmos.
Because their orbits are unstable, a possibility exists – however remote – that the asteroids could break off from their trajectory and one day head on a collision course for Earth. The findings are ...
