A weak magnetic field likely attracted matter inward, contributing to the formation of the outer planetary bodies, from ...

Although NASA's Lucy spacecraft's upcoming encounter with the asteroid Donaldjohanson is primarily a mission rehearsal for ...

YR4, which orbits the sun every four years and periodically crosses Earth's orbit. The nature of its orbit makes it a ...

uracil and nicotinic acid were detected in the samples from asteroid Ryugu, but the other four nucleobases were absent. The difference in abundance and complexity of N-heterocycles between Bennu ...

Analysis of samples brought back to Earth from the asteroid Bennu reveal that it has a bizarre chemical make-up and is ...

This artist’s concept compares the approximate size of Lucy’s next asteroid target, Donaldjohanson, to the smallest main belt asteroids previously visited by spacecraft — Dinkinesh, visited by Lucy in ...

The samples from Bennu also seem to be richer in volatiles than samples taken from the asteroid Ryugu by the Japanese Hayabusa2 probe. One key finding announced was related to the chirality ...

"Scientifically there's a huge amount we can learn from asteroids," says Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queens University ...

New simulations reveal that the climate, atmospheric chemistry and even global photosynthesis would be dramatically disrupted by an asteroid collision ...
