The NASA DART spacecraft shifted the orbits of two asteroids around the sun after intentionally crashing into one of them.

A long-running debate about the Silverpit Crater beneath the North Sea has finally been resolved. Scientists now confirm it formed when a roughly 160-meter asteroid struck the seabed about 43–46 million years ago.

New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope confirm asteroid 2024 YR4 will not hit the moon in 2032.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 is big and dangerous enough that it has been dubbed a "city killer." There were concerns that the asteroid could hit the moon or even Earth in 2032. However, in a major update, NASA announced that the asteroid is likely to miss our lunar neighbor - and us.

"Extremophile" bacteria could survive asteroid impacts that are strong enough to launch them into space, suggesting that life could travel between planetary bodies.

New observations have ruled out the chances of an asteroid hitting the moon in 2032, according to scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope.

There’s certainly nothing living on the asteroid Bennu, an airless, 1,614-ft. rubble pile orbiting the sun about 40.2 million miles from Earth. But that doesn’t mean that Bennu hasn’t all at once become one of the most biologically interesting ...
