(CNN) Just over a year after Japan's Hayabusa2 mission returned the first subsurface sample of an asteroid to Earth , scientists have determined that the near-Earth asteroid Ryugu is a pristine remnant from the formation of our solar system.
We Asked a NASA Expert: When Was the Last Time an Asteroid Hit Earth? [Video]
When was the last time an asteroid hit Earth? Today! But it was almost definitely very small. Small asteroids and other tiny dust and particles bombard our planet daily. It’s the big ones we need to worry about. Scientists like Marina Brozovic are keeping their eyes to the sky.
What would really happen if we mined a $27 quintillion asteroid? - SlashGear
You might have seen headlines about how NASA is planning to visit an asteroid worth quintillions of dollars, and even some suggesting that mining this asteroid would make everyone on Earth indescribably rich.
The study found that Psyche, which is 140 miles across, is almost entirely composed of iron and nickel, which would be very valuable if it was here on Earth. That figure has been used to extrapolate a worth of quintillions of dollars, or even more than the Earth’s entire economy.

What it looks like to land on Mars and other space discoveries in 2021 - KAKE
Discoveries in our solar system helped us become better acquainted with planets like Mars and Venus. Waves of light reached us from across the cosmos to tell ancient stories and reveal new phenomena.
We greeted new worlds that broaden our understanding of planets beyond our little cosmological neighborhood. Extreme celestial objects like black holes gave up some of their secrets while inviting researchers to explore new ones.
Asteroid As Big As World's Tallest Building Burj Khalifa To Pass By Earth Today
An asteroid the size of the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, will pass by Earth today.
Our solar system is teeming with large space rocks orbiting the Sun, with their courses periodically shifting owing to the gravitational pull of planets. Asteroids are cosmic objects that seldom reach Earth, but when they do, they cause disaster.
Earth's Surface Water May Have Come From Space, Scientists Believe | Technology News
Earth looks incredible when seen from space, thanks to its blue cover of water bodies. Astronomers have captured the breathtaking beauty of our planet in countless photographs and videos. But has this planet always been like what it is today?
The scientists supported the idea that the water on Earth is a result of comets and ice asteroids crashing down on the planet. The group's findings are based on a study of materials obtained from the 25143 Itokawa asteroid.
