DART, NASA triumph: the asteroid Dimorphos changes shape after the impact
Recent studies suggest that Dimorphos, hit by NASA's DART probe, is 'healing', and changing its shape and surface.
Asteroid on collision course with Earth, as NASA would warn us
Here's how NASA is working to predict and prevent the impact of an asteroid similar to the one that extinguished the dinosaurs.
Water on the surface of an asteroid, a first
Historic discovery thanks to the NASA SOFIA observatory: an asteroid with water on the surface found. The discovery helps study how planets originated.
Bennu, the analysis of the asteroid material: there is water and carbon
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
NASA, recovered the sample from the asteroid Bennu: why it is important
After a long journey, OSIRIS-REX brings a sample of the asteroid Bennu to Earth: it can provide us with crucial answers.
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.
Space, "mini Ceres" asteroids found, full of water: "they give life to planets"
The new Ceres-like asteroids could be responsible for the presence of ice and organic materials on Earth and Mars
The dinosaur "killer" asteroid created tsunamis with waves 4 kilometers high
The dinosaur killer asteroid has a precise identikit, but we know more and more about its "ferocity". Here is the latest discovery on the matter.
Today we will use HAARP to hit an asteroid with a radio “projectile”.
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 twice that of the Moon
China wants to make the Moon an asteroid defense outpost
China intends to expand its planetary defense program by installing telescopes and satellites on the moon. To monitor asteroids ... and possibly hostile countries.
Ryugu, the Japanese scientists: traces of the 'building blocks' of life on the asteroid
From the analyzes on the material of the asteroid Ryugu more questions than answers, but all contemplate that life is practically everywhere in the cosmos.
We already have the technology to save the Earth from an asteroid
A new paper examining the technical aspects of a planetary defense system says yes: we can save the Earth from an asteroid.
DART, the NASA anti asteroid mission sends the first images
Travel the cosmos and it will hit the asteroid Didymos (and see if it will work in case of danger): in the meantime, DART sends us star photos.
DART, NASA will hit an asteroid to divert its course
NASA will attempt to crash a spacecraft into an asteroid to redirect it.
How will we exploit asteroids once we have learned to "capture" them?
The asteroids are out there, and they are many, with their load of pitfalls ... and riches. How can we exploit them?
Discovery of complex organic matter in our solar system
Research on asteroids in our solar system detects celestial bodies with complex organic matter that simply shouldn't be there.
Here's what scholars understand from the simulated impact of an asteroid
Last week, space agencies simulated the impact of an asteroid to figure out what response to organize. Here's how it went.
NASA will do a simulation of the impact of an asteroid with Earth
NASA is developing a simulation that will take place in 5 days to assess the response of agencies and governments to the impact of an asteroid with the Earth.
NASA towards Psyche 16: the asteroid is worth more than the global economy
An all-metal asteroid, Psyche 16, is the next target of a NASA mission that is entering the final stage of development.
Earth has a second, tiny moon
Earth has a much closer second moon, but you can't go there: it's tiny. It has been around us for 3 years and will soon go away.
NASA: Pyramid-sized asteroid JF1 may hit us in 2022
The asteroid JF1 is as large as the pyramid of Ghiza and points a little towards us. We will know later. Expected date: 6 May 2022. The Mayans have nothing to do with it.
