Last year, astronomers detected the near-earth asteroid (NEA) 2024 YR4, which orbits the sun every four years and periodically crosses Earth's orbit. The nature of its orbit makes it a potentially ...

GRAND FORKS, ND — Astronomers have turned their high-powered telescopes toward a 100-meter wide asteroid hurtling in its orbit through the Milky Way galaxy and are hoping it doesn’t collide ...

Another study estimated the potential damage that would be caused if an asteroid the size of Bennu — with a diameter of roughly 500 metres — strikes Earth.

"Scientifically there's a huge amount we can learn from asteroids," says Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer at Queens University Belfast and a member of one of Nasa's sky surveys that searches and tracks ...
