Asteroids

Professor Noville, a Spanish scientist, has discovered a formula using the gravitational bending of light to pinpoint celestial objects including hazardous asteroids

On November 26, roughly 100-meter-wide asteroid 2006 WB will safely fly by Earth at a distance of 2.3 lunar miles. A tiny asteroid called 2024 PT5 recently made a brief "mini moon" orbit around Earth

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"

Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is closely monitoring the two asteroids expected to fly by earth today, reportedly from a safe distance. The space agency said the objects pose no danger to earth

SpaceX to launch Europe's Hera asteroid probe that aims to understand the post-impact evaluation in Dimorphos

The mini-moon cannot be seen with the naked eye or even watching with the help of binoculars or a home telescope would be a difficult task as it is small and made of dull rock

Asteroid 2024 PT5 will follow a horseshoe-shaped path for a period of 53 days before returning to a sun-centred path. The event will take place from September 29 and will last till November 25

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

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

On June 27, a mountain-sized space rock "Planet Killer" made a close approach to Earth. One of the largest potentially hazardous asteroids had a diameter of 2.5 kilometres, according to estimates

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

On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis, or "God of Chaos," is expected to pass close to Earth from just about 20,000 miles away. OSIRIS-APEX has now been launched to explore Apophis

NASA launched an asteroid-exploring Psyche mission that may help scientists in finding answers to questions about the solar system and its origin. Here's all you need to know about Psyche mission

NASA will analyse the sample once it returns to earth, to help us understand the origins of the solar system. Bennu orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 105 million miles

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

Asteroid 2016 LK49 will come within a distance of 364,150 kilometers of Earth traveling at a speed of 19.4 kilometers per second

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

The James Webb Space Telescope is the world's premier space science observatory
