Astronomers have found the closest asteroid to the sun ever seen, a relatively large rock that gets within 20 million kilometres of it – about 13 per cent the distance between the sun and Earth.
These asteroids are hard to find because in order to look for them, astronomers have to point telescopes towards the sun. That means there's …
EarthSky | Large asteroid RM4 to pass closely November 1
No danger, but newly-discovered asteroid 2022 RM4 will pass less than 6 lunar distances on November 1. Possibly as wide as 740 meters, it will brighten to mag 14.3, well within reach of backyard telescopes. @unistellar
This is very close for an asteroid this size.
The Pan-STARRS 2 telescope in Hawaii discovered a new asteroid on September 12, 2022, that might be as large as a half-mile wide. Additional observations, including some on October 5, 2022, from Steward Observatory at the University of Arizona, confirmed the asteroid’s path.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The asteroid that got smacked by a NASA spacecraft is now being trailed by thousands of miles of debris from the impact.
Astronomers captured the scene millions of miles away with a telescope in Chile. Their remarkable observation two days after last month's planetary defense test was recently released a National Science Foundation lab in Arizona.

At first glance, a new image captured by a telescope in Chile looks like a dazzling comet streaking across the night sky, followed by a long, glowing tail. Instead, it's the debris plume created when NASA's DART spacecraft crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos .
Asteroid Dimorphos has 10,000 kilometre-long tail of debris after DART crash | Technology News,The ...
NASA's DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft intentionally crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos , which orbits a larger asteroid Didymos, on September 27. After the crash, a huge tail of dust and debris was seen stretching from the asteroid.
Two days after the impact, astronomers at the Lowell Observatory and the US Naval Academy took this image of Dimorphos using the 4.1-metre Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) Telescope at the NOIRLab's Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.
New image shows asteroid strike 'bigger than expected'
The James Webb and Hubble telescopes have revealed their first images of a spacecraft deliberately smashing into an asteroid, as astronomers indicated that the impact looks to have been much greater than expected.
Astronomers rejoiced as NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) impactor slammed into its pyramid-sized, rugby ball-shaped target 11 million kilometres from Earth on Monday night.
Asteroid collision leaves extensive debris plumes

Scientists identify potential source of 'shock-darkened' meteorites, with implications for ...
When the Chelyabinsk fireball exploded across Russian skies in 2013, it littered Earth with a relatively uncommon type of meteorite. What makes the Chelyabinsk meteorites and others like them special is their dark veins, created by a process called shock darkening.
In a new paper published in the Planetary Science Journal, University of Arizona scientists identified an asteroid named 1998 OR2 as one potential source of shock-darkened meteorites. The near-Earth asteroid is about 1 1/2 miles wide and made a close approach to Earth in April 2020.
