Washington, DC— Microscopic grains of ancient material that predate our Sun’s birth were found in samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 mission, according to new work from an international team led by Carnegie’s Jens Barosch and Larry Nittler and published ...
Scientists discover why asteroid is ejecting material – but now how it is doing it | The Independent
Scientists have finally discovered what the material that is being spat out of an asteroid is – but not exactly how it is happening.
The discovery is a step towards understanding a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists when it was first discovered in 2019.

NASA plans to deflect an asteroid on September 26! | Tech News
According to Space.com, it's a pair of asteroids together- Didymos and Dimorphos. The latter one orbits Didymos. It rotates around its larger twin every 11 hours and 55 minutes. Didymos is a large asteroid of 2,560 feet size while Dimorphos is 525 feet.
Launched in November 2021, Nasa's DART mission is the first-ever space probe to demonstrate asteroid deflection by a kinetic impactor.
Finding the Asteroid Vesta, by Dennis Mammana | Creators Syndicate
I remember well those wonderful days of elementary school when the very mention of the "solar system" conjured up in my mind amazing images of the sun, the planets and their attendant moons, and even mysterious comets sweeping by now and then.
Poor li'l asteroids seldom get much attention. Too bad, too. There may be more asteroids than anything else orbiting our sun.
How our ancestors survived the doomsday asteroid - BBC Future
These were the early weeks and months after a six-mile-wide (10km) asteroid collided with the coast of present-day Mexico with the force of more than a billion nuclear bombs, ending the Cretaceous spectacularly.
The asteroid that ended the Cretaceous took with it famous dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, as well as lesser-known but bizarre creatures like Anzu , or the "chicken from hell" .

The source of a resounding boom over Salt Lake City? Probably a meteor. - The Washington Post
When a thunderous boom was heard across the Salt Lake City area over the weekend, it confused residents. Was the seemingly inexplicable noise an earthquake or construction noise? Perhaps it was military testing or something from space?
After hearing the explosion while out on a Saturday morning run, Utah Gov. Spencer Cox (R) tweeted that all signs pointed to a meteor.
Here's How Mars Could Play A Key Role In Asteroid Mining
The concept of mining asteroids for their mineral riches has long been a staple of science fiction, but the scientific expectations are realistic and private firms are already making moves to grab a piece of the pie.
Take for example Mini Bee , a proposal that entered the Phase III studies within the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program back in 2019. The plan is to harvest water vapor and volatile chemical compounds from an asteroid using a technique called optical mining.
