Space agency leaders talk asteroid deflection, moon missions | Space
PARIS — Heads of the world's major space agencies presented their big plans for the coming years at a major congress in Paris, while underlining the serious challenges that could affect space and humanity.
Officials from NASA , the European Space Agency (ESA), Canadian Space Agency (CSA), the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) took to the stage Sept. 18 at the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) 2022 in Paris.
Help find weird comet-like asteroids that could reveal solar system secrets | Space
Comets are comets, and asteroids are asteroids … except when they're not. Some asteroids appear to be active, forming the familiar comae, and even tails, of their cometary cousins.
Asteroids are relatively simple. The leftover bits of stillborn rocky planets, they are rich in carbon, iron and other heavier elements. They're basically just big balls of rock.

Ancient collisions with asteroids actually moved the moon's north and south pokes by about 186 miles, scientists revealed in a new study.
NASA's Mars lander detects meteorites as they slam down to surface | Daily Sabah
Mars, by virtue of its tenuous atmosphere and proximity to our solar system's asteroid belt, is far more vulnerable than Earth to being struck by space rocks – one of the many differences between the two planetary neighbors.
Scientists are now gaining a fuller understanding of this Martian trait, with help from NASA's robotic InSight lander.
Impact Crater off the African Coast May Be Linked to Chicxulub - Eos
Every day, tons of cosmic dust rain down on our planet.
The newly discovered Nadir crater appears to have formed right around the same time as that cataclysm.
The putative crater is buried under roughly 300 meters of sediments topped by 900 meters of water, and its appearance strongly suggests it was created by a hypervelocity impact, said Nicholson. For starters, it's circular in shape, with a pronounced rim.

Historic! This meteorite that crashed in UK has ALIEN water; check shocking findings | Tech News
Ashley King, a researcher in the planetary materials group at the Natural History Museum, has informed that around 12 percent of the sample was made up of water and it is also the least contaminated specimen to be collected to date, according to a report in The Independent .
According to the report, the researcher told British Science Festival, "It's a really good piece of evidence that asteroids and bodies like Winchcombe made a very important contribution to the Earth's oceans."
