Jumble of rocks in far-flung locations help researchers work out how big and how far-reaching impact would have been
Any dinosaur that survived the Chicxulub asteroid impact 66m years ago then faced a mega-tsunami that washed around the entire world and began as a mile-high wave, a study shows.
NASA's DART spacecraft alters orbit of asteroid after successful collision | National News | ...
Weeks after NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into an asteroid 6,835,083 miles from Earth, the agency confirmed the event successfully altered the celestial object's rate of orbit by approximately 32 minutes.
The imagery from Oct. 8, collected by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows the debris blasted from the surface of Dimorphos 285 hours after the asteroid was intentionally impacted by NASA's DART spacecraft on Sept. 26. The shape of that tail has changed over time.
Look! NASA's asteroid-bound Lucy mission snaps a stunning photo of a lonely Earth
Two stunning new photos from a NASA probe slingshotting toward the outer Solar System show Earth as a small marble world.
It will require another Earthly assist in two years before it heads towards its destination near Jupiter. Gravity assists use the force of a planet to stretch a spacecraft's fuel budget, saving precious propellant while allowing spacecraft to reach destinations more quickly.
