How would our planet physically react to a future asteroid strike? Researchers simulated an idealised collision scenario with a medium-sized asteroid using a state-of-the-art climate model.

An asteroid has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. This is, maybe, why we all can’t stop obsessing about it. (Essay) ...

In an update issued on February 7, NASA said the probability of 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth had gone from around 1.2 percent (one-in-83) to 2.3 percent (one-in-43).

NASA is using its most powerful space telescope to study the true size of the "city-killer" asteroid that has a one-in-43 ...

Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid ...

An asteroid impact today could be devastating. But a few billion years ago, an impact may have helped life exist. Scientists hope to learn more about that possibility with recently extracted samples ...

NASA's watchful eye on the skies has recently spotted asteroid Bennu, a celestial body with a slim chance of impacting Earth. According to a study published in Science Advances, Bennu's odds of ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 swept into view of the asteroid warning system, called ATLAS, in December last year. Astronomers then calculated that the space lump will make a super close approach to Earth in 2032 ...

The near-Earth asteroid Bennu poses a potential threat of collision with Earth. New research shows that an impact could cause drastic climate changes, leading to 'impact winter' and severe ozone ...

In a recent study, scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea ...

NASA classifies Bennu as a medium-sized asteroid, measuring about one-third of a mile (500 metres) across. While far smaller ...

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...
