The US space agency says the 580-feet building-sized asteroid 363305 (2002 NV16) will pose no risk to Earth, although it is classified as "potentially hazardous"
A huge 720-foot asteroid '2024 ON' is expected to approach Earth today. The asteroid will safely pass at a distance of 997,793 km, but its speed is a matter of concern
Initially discovered in 2004, Apophis surpasses the size of India's largest aircraft carrier, the INS Vikramaditya, and the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the world's largest cricket stadium
A near-earth asteroid 2024 PQ5 is heading to earth at a speed of 28,128 miles per hour. Nasa issues alerts as the space agency closely monitors such activities to ensure no potential threats
Asteroid 2024 OR1 is part of the Apollo asteroids, which have been making their closest approach to Earth recently
Nasa confirmed that Apophis will pass the earth with just 38,012 KM or 23,619 miles. Here's all you need to know
Despite the lack of significant known asteroid impact threats in the near future, Nasa expressed concerns about our readiness to mitigate such a threat even with substantial warning
World Asteroid Day 2023 is observed every year on June 30, and it aims to spread awareness about asteroid impact on earth. Asteroids are leftovers from the formation of our solar system
The Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Centre for Near-Earth Objects (NEO) maintains a list of objects that may come close to Earth to understand the potential risk they pose
NASA issued the alert warning as an Asteroid is about to pass close to the Earth today, a bus size asteroid is passing at a speed of 48052 Km/h
An asteroid is classified as a Near-Earth Object (NEO) if its distance from our planet is less than 1.3 times the distance between Earth and the Sun
The asteroid was initially spotted by amateur astronomer Gennadiy Borisov on Saturday and reported to the Minor Planet Center (MPC)
The mission is NASA's first demonstration of the agency's planetary-defense initiative to protect Earth from the possibility of a hazardous collision with an asteroid
Dimorphos doesn't pose any threat to Earth, but the DART mission is the first physical test in space of one of NASA's primary tenets: planetary defense.
Nasa estimates the asteroid's relative speed at around 8.16 kilometres per second
NASA's Near-Earth Object (NEO) web-site at the Centre for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) reveals that they will be fast approaching the Earth this month
The reason for this jump in the impact rate is not known but it could be related to large collisions taking place more than 290 million years ago
Scientific researchers trying to find evidence of how asteroid impacts occur at regular intervals
The warning comes ahead of the upcoming Asteroid Day on 30 June
