Asteroids have struck the Earth more than once in the last billion years. Some of them have changed the course of history. They may well be the reason for the rise of humanity. But how can asteroid impact craters, which struck the Earth thousands of years ago be identified?
The asteroid, named Asteroid 2022 YG5 will fly past Earth today, December 30. This space rock will make its closest approach to the planet at a distance of just 3.1 million kilometers. The 51 feet wide asteroid will pass Earth at a staggering speed of 51246 kilometers per hour.
Huge Asteroid Will Be One of the Closest Approaches to Earth Next Year
An enormous asteroid, with an estimated diameter of between 460 and 1,050 feet, is on course for a close encounter with Earth in 2023. At 0:30 a.m. on October 17, the cruise ship-sized space rock will make its closest approach to Earth since records began.
We are talking relatively here: "close" in universe terms is still hundreds of thousands of miles away. In this case, asteroid 1998 HH49 is expected to come within 730,000 miles of our planet, which is about three times the distance between the Earth and the moon.
HAARP bounces low-frequency waves off asteroid in test to look inside - Alaska Public Media
Scientists in Alaska bounced radio signals off a small asteroid Tuesday from the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program research site in Gakona.
Early Tuesday, the HAARP research site in Gakona transmitted radio signals to the little rock named asteroid 2010 XC15 . It is not as close as some asteroids get, according to Mark Haynes, the lead investigator on the project and a radar systems engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Students can be part of Asteroid Search Campaign - The Hindu
The Cosmology Education and Research Training Centre (COSMOS), Mysuru is facilitating an asteroid search campaign where students get to work on actual data from the PanSTARRS telescope in Hawaii in collaboration with Hands-on Universe, India.
The campaign is part of the International Asteroid Search Campaign conducted by the International Astronomical Search Collaboration (IASC). Students/ interested people will be given datasets of photographs taken by the telescope to analyse and training on how to report them.
How to watch the Quadrantids – one of the best meteor showers all year – on Jan.
The first meteor shower of 2023, the Quadrantids, is coming up — and it may be one of the most spectacular showers of the year.
The Quadrantids are active from Dec. 26 to Jan. 16 but will peak on Jan. 2 and 3. At the peak, viewers can expect an average of 80 meteors per hour streaking through Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA (opens in new tab) . — although the shower could produce up to 200 per hour.
Inside incredible plan for floating SKYSCRAPER that would hang down from orbiting asteroid giving ...
INCREDIBLE plans have been unveiled for a floating skyscraper that would hang down from an orbiting asteroid in space.
Based on the idea of a space elevator, the remarkable Analemma Tower would be suspended in the air from a large asteroid on a cable and become the world's tallest building.
Dinosaurs were in their prime, not in decline, when fateful asteroid hit
Paleontologists agree that a massive asteroid strike triggered the end of the dinosaurs, but a debate has persisted over the reptiles' overall state at the time of the fateful collision.
Were non-avian dinosaurs already in decline, and the asteroid just sped up their trudge toward extinction? Or were they thriving in the late Cretaceous, only to be snuffed out by an ill-timed space rock?
