Crinia is a unique 5-kilometer asteroid that shares Earth’s orbit in a rare one-to-one rhythm. Despite its nickname as Earth’s “second moon, ” it actually orbits the sun with a looping path that ...

"It is incredible that modern telescopic surveys have the ability to detect such small objects up to millions of kilometers ...

Spot overlapping meteor showers this month, along with the Moon sharing the sky with some of the brightest planets.

“The probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 will strike the Moon on 22 December 2032 is now approximately 4 percent, and this probability was still slowly rising as the asteroid faded out of view ...

An asteroid the size of a 10-storey building could now make impact with the moon, which could potentially fry global communications and send the planet into digital meltdown.

NASA has announced that an asteroid about 200 feet in diameter is now slightly more likely to crash into the moon.

Earth is no longer at risk of a direct collision with the asteroid 2024 YR4, but an impact on the moon in 2032 could send debris hurtling towards our planet that could take out orbiting satellites ...
