When NASA crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in 2022, it altered both Dimorphos' orbit around its ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 will not impact the Moon in 2032! New observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that the object will pass safely at a distance of more than 20 000 ...

Smashing a spacecraft into a binary asteroid system has managed to alter its path around the sun, a new analysis reveals ...

A new study shows that, not only did the agency’s 2022 DART mission shift the orbit of the moonlet Dimorphos, it also changed the path of its parent asteroid around the sun.

NASA’s DART mission slammed into the small asteroid Dimorphos in 2022, and the impact slowed its orbit around the larger Didymos – and also the pair’s path around the sun ...

New data about the DART spacecraft’s effects adds evidence that Earth could be defended from future deadly asteroids by ...

Asteroid 2023 JF flew about 199,000 miles (320,000 km) away from Earth. It's estimated size is about 34 feet wide (10 meters), roughly the size of a bus. Orbit animation courtesy: NASA/JPL-Caltech | ...

Tonight's waxing gibbous moon phase will be 92% illuminated, appearing bright and nearly full as the special February 2026 snow moon is set to rise in Cancer this weekend next to a brilliant Regulus ...

As of late 2025, NASA had confirmed the existence of a temporary second moon that would remain in orbit next to Earth until 2083. Astronomers discovered a "quasi-satellite" of Earth, also known as a ...

Particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been carried into space by solar wind and have been landing on the moon for billions of years, mixing into the lunar soil, according to a new study. The research ...

Astronomers discovered a "quasi-satellite" of Earth, also known as a "quasi-moon," dubbed 2025 PN7 in 2025. NASA told Snopes that 2025 PN7 has been in its current configuration "since at least the ...

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field. Rather than blocking particles, the magnetic field can funnel them along ...
