Scientists at Lab are unraveling the mysteries of Bennu, a 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid, using cutting-edge technology. The ...

New Southwest Research Institute-led modeling indicates the main belt asteroid (52246) Donaldjohanson may have formed about 150 million years ago when a larger parent asteroid broke apart; its orbit ...

New simulations reveal that the climate, atmospheric chemistry and even global photosynthesis would be dramatically disrupted by an asteroid collision ...

Scientists from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission recently delivered remarkable findings about asteroid 101955 Bennu after the mission returned its samples to Earth in 2023.

Bennu’s rocks formed 4.5 billion years ago on a larger parent asteroid. That asteroid was wet and muddy. Under the surface, pockets of water perhaps only a few feet across were evaporating ...

New Southwest Research Institute-led modeling indicates the main belt asteroid (52246) Donaldjohanson may have formed about ...

NASA’s Lucy spacecraft is gearing up for an exciting flyby of the asteroid Donaldjohanson on April 20, 2025. The mission, which aims to study asteroids in the Trojan swarms orbiting Jupiter, has ...
