Astronomers are making a surprising breakthrough in the study of Venus, as new simulations suggest there may be a hidden ...

"It's like discovering a continent you didn't know existed," Valerio Carruba of the São Paulo State University in Brazil, who led the analysis, told Space.com. "It's very likely there are other ...

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.

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.

Measuring approximately 120 feet in width, the asteroid will fly by at a velocity of 31,204 km/h, maintaining a safe distance ...

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 ...

Their findings showed that a number of low-eccentricity asteroids—those with nearly circular orbits—could pose a real threat to Earth. Unfortunately, these are also the most difficult to detect.

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 ...

3 city-killing asteroids could strike Earth within weeks without warning. An international research team has revealed there are at least three asteroids that have unstable orbits, taking them ...
