On Tuesday, October 11, NASA will hold a briefing to give an update on the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) conducted last month.
However, the current NASA prediction states that the asteroid will likely make a safe passage across the planet. Yet, for precautionary reasons, the asteroid is being monitored by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE) telescope.
Asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs also triggered earthquake | Space
The asteroid that struck Earth and triggered the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs also caused an earthquake that shook the planet for weeks or even months, according to new research.
About 66 million years ago, a space rock 6 miles (10 kilometers) wide now called the Chicxulub impactor slammed into Earth off the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
Space mining business still highly speculative
Just a couple of years ago, it seemed that space mining was inevitable. Analysts , tech visionaries and even renowned astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson predicted that space mining was going to be big business.
Space mining companies like Planetary Resources and Deep Space Industries, backed by the likes of Google 's Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, cropped up to take advantage of the predicted payoff.
Myth Debunked: Is the asteroid belt densely packed with asteroids?
While sci-fi portrayals of the asteroid belt demonstrate it as a dense region of asteroids lying between Mars and Jupiter, this is strictly not the case for the actual asteroid belt in our solar system.
Oumuamua: asteroid or alien light sail, debate continues five years later - indica News
This month it has been five years since a mysterious interstellar object, the first of its kind, that zipped through our solar system at a blistering 196000 miles or over 315000 kilometers an hour.
Even as a new study ready for publication has concluded that the quarter mile-long, rocky, cigar-shaped, reddish hued object was not a light sail, the original proponent of the idea that it was potentially an alien light sail is firmly standing by it.
Post-impact images of DART mission have not disappointed | Ars Technica
At a press conference shortly before NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft smashed into an asteroid, a reporter tried to get a sense of just what would happen as a bunch of metal and electronics smashed into a pile of rubble left over from the birth of the Solar System.
The amazing thing about that loss is that we got to experience it in real time, as the last image from DART's onboard camera cut out after only a small fraction of it was transmitted to Earth.
Dinonsaurs Were Headed For Extinction Before Asteroid Hit Earth - The Florida Star | The Georgia ...
A new study of dinosaur eggs from the time of their mass extinction reveals the species was already on the way out before an asteroid struck.
Paleontologists have long debated whether the dinosaurs were declining or having their heyday at the time of the collision.
Meet the history-making crew who just landed at the space station - KAKE
When astronauts venture aboard the International Space Station, they see a world without borders. They work together while orbiting Earth, and no boundaries are visible between them, even as member countries contend with geopolitics on the planet below.
This week, a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft with a diverse crew lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
