asteroid

Researchers discovered a 3.26-billion-year-old asteroid impact acted as 'giant fertilizer bomb,' aiding early microbial life.

When Apophis was discovered in 2004, initial calculations indicated that it could approach Earth with a risk of collision.

The asteroid is just around a meter in diameter and is not expected to cause any damage. It will most likely burn in the atmosphere, forming a fireball.

A new study claims that a gigantic asteroid twice the size of Chicago may have struck Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, four billion years ago and changed its axis.

A meteor was spotted in New York, flying over the Statue of Liberty before exploding above Manhattan. However, NASA if it, or military activity, caused the loud booms.

Asteroid 2024 MK is around 154.9 meters wide, around the size of 258 Henri Delaunay trophies won during UEFA European Football Championships (Euros). And it's flying very close to Earth.

Using the ESA's measurement, asteroid (415029) 2011 UL21 is around the size of 770 adult male lions from head to tail. 

The asteroid was originally going to be measured with the Beit Hamikdash, aka the ancient First and Second Temples of Jerusalem, per the birthday wishes of the writer's father (happy birthday, dad!).

Asteroid 2008 XH is estimated to be around 102.5 meters in diameter. That makes it around 54 times the size of former US president Donald Trump.

Near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) tend to move very fast, which makes it hard to take precise images of them with telescopes. Researchers from China and Ukraine got around this with time delay integration.
