We have a map of all the dangerous asteroids for the next 1000 years
Astronomers are mapping the trajectories of dangerous asteroids over the next 1000 years: two of them could give us more of a headache.

The new Ceres-like asteroids could be responsible for the presence of ice and organic materials on Earth and Mars
China intends to expand its planetary defense program by installing telescopes and satellites on the moon. To monitor asteroids… and perhaps hostile countries.
China's fledgling planetary defense strategy illustrates its ambitious plans to defend Earth from asteroids.
It travels into the cosmos and will hit the asteroid Didymos (and understand if it will work in case of danger): in the meantime, DART sends us stellar photos.
Asteroids are out there, and there are many of them, with their load of dangers... and riches. How can we exploit them?
The world awaits new landings on the moon and then on Mars, but I say: remember the asteroids, here are at least 4 good reasons to do it.
Recent studies suggest that Dimorphos, hit by NASA's DART probe, is 'healing', and changing its shape and surface.
Here's how NASA is working to predict and prevent the impact of an asteroid similar to the one that extinguished the dinosaurs.
Historic discovery thanks to the NASA SOFIA observatory: an asteroid with water on the surface found. The discovery helps study how planets originated.
NASA has revealed the first data on the asteroid Bennu, thanks to the OSIRIS-REx mission. The analysis shows an abundance of carbon and water, key elements for life
Philosopher Toby Ord estimated a 'one in six' chance of human extinction in the next century. But where does this estimate come from? How reliable is it?
After a long journey, OSIRIS-REX brings a sample of the asteroid Bennu to Earth: it can provide us with crucial answers.
The James Webb Space Telescope has completed its first year of observing, revealing unprecedented details about our universe and opening new horizons for astronomical research.
A technology that seemed like the stuff of novels is becoming reality: here are the advances, perspectives (and challenges) of the tractor beam.
Medical treatments (and a real pharmacy) and shields against asteroids: the future of space in projects funded by NASA.
The dinosaur-killing asteroid has a precise identikit, but we know more and more about its "ferocity". Here is the latest discovery on the matter.
Not new news for a message that has no age: life on Earth literally defies the end of the world.
The HAARP radio system will be used for the first time as a radio "cannon" to know the interior of the asteroid which today will pass at a distance double that of the Moon
The best way to go into orbit could be through a space elevator that moves on a very long cable: will we achieve it?
The same story every time: “What's the point of space exploration, with all the problems we still have to solve here”? Let's do a review.
