Los Alamos National Laboratory working on asteroid defense
LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) – Scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory are studying asteroids in the hopes of being better prepared to defend the earth against them.
Planetary scientist Wendy Caldwell says there is no cause for alarm, no asteroids are coming for us right now. But she and her team are trying to learn more about what the massive space rocks are made of and how they behave with the help of a supercomputer.
Asteroid near Earth was discovered orbiting the Sun
HONOLULU — Astronomers recently discovered the largest-known Trojan asteroid using a telescope atop Haleakala on Maui.
The Trojan asteroid known as 2020 XL5 is only the second of its kind ever to be found and it is the largest of the two, with a diameter of about 0.75 miles.
The Solar System's Youngest Known Asteroid Pair Discovered
A collision between two asteroids can create fragments of smaller asteroids that appear to float in space as a pair. The second theory is about rotational fission, an asteroid breaking into pieces due to centrifugal forces and radiation torque.
This month, new research published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society details the youngest asteroid pair ever observed at 'just' about 300 years of age.
How often does NASA's asteroid detector scan the sky? | TweakTown
Researchers from the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Hawaii operate ATLAS, NASA's asteroid monitoring system, and it has recently been given some upgrades.
The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) originally consisted of two telescopes located in Hawaii but has now doubled the number of operating telescopes to four, with the two new telescopes being located in Chile and South Africa.
U.S. on Near-Earth Objects at the 2022 COPUOS STSC
The United States appreciates the opportunity to share its most recent activities for discovery and research on Near-Earth Objects, or NEOs. The NASA Planetary Defense Coordination Office leads U.S. efforts to detect, track and study hazardous NEOs.
As of January of this year, international efforts led by NASA-sponsored NEO search teams are approaching a significant milestone in the search for near-Earth asteroids (or NEAs), having discovered almost 28,000 asteroids of all sizes whose orbits could allow them to come relatively close to Earth.
I dodged the online retail asteroid – and you can, too | Business | The Sunday Times
I had a problem. It was the late 1990s and things weren't looking good. Retail was under attack with the arrival of the internet and you could read the writing on the wall.
When the first search engines started, you could type in the model you wanted — be it a camera, telly or anything else with a number — and they would churn out the cheapest price for you.
A rocket is still set to slam into the Moon next month — but it may not be from SpaceX after all -
Last month, an astronomer and space tracking expert made a bit of a splash when he predicted that a piece of an old SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket left in space for the last seven years was going to collide with the Moon this March. But now he's changing that prediction in a big way.
The update comes from Bill Gray, an astronomer and asteroid tracker running Project Pluto , who has been following this doomed object since March of 2015.
The first shocked zircon from Mars could mean a huge impact | SYFY WIRE
You can tell Mars has had it rough. Besides having lost its magnetic field and enduring billions of years of radiation bombing, it has also been gobsmacked by asteroids.
Researchers Aaron Cavosie and Morgan Cox of Curtin University in Australia, along with their research team, have now found the zircon and revealed that it is the first zircon from Mars with evidence of high-pressure shock deformation — the impact shock from whatever it broke off of was that
Giant asteroid named after Filipino doctor, amateur astronomer | Philstar.com
MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) recently announced that the Paris’ International Astronomical Union (IAU) officially named an eight-kilometer-wide asteroid “7431 Jettaguilar”, in honor of Dr.
DOST said in a statement that Aguilar has been providing neurosurgical services to Filipino children for more than 20 years. He is is known in the medical field for successfully removing a parasitic twin from a three-week-old infant in 2019.
