YR4 has a 2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.

Scientists recently completed computer simulations of what would happen to Earth if it were impacted by an asteroid with a ...

Is Earth really exceptional?  A new book seems to reaffirm that notion.  But given the right conditions, primitive life may be a mere byproduct of biophysics.

The potentially hazardous asteroid Bennu probably won't hit Earth. But this study shows the damage a space rock of its size could do.

What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

The asteroid Bennu has provided groundbreaking insights into the chemistry that may have set the stage for life in the early ...
