A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, astronomers have warned.

Astronomers have discovered six asteroids that are ‘potentially dangerous to Earth’. But is there a reason to panic? Venus, our celestial next-door neighbour, is hiding possibly hundreds of ...

3 'City-Killer' Asteroids Could Strike Earth In Weeks, Say Scientists The study highlights the threat posed by three space rocks-named 2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1-which currently share an orbit ...

Venus currently hosts 20 known co-orbitals, including "Trojan" asteroids and the peculiar quasi-moon Zoozve. These objects, each exceeding 460 feet in diameter, could devastate urban areas if they ...

The answer is yes. Some asteroids are even more powerful than nuclear bombs. However, how dangerous they are depends on their size, speed of impact, and density.

Additionally, observational biases favor observing asteroids with high eccentricity (those that move widely around the Sun), as they sometimes come close to Earth where they are more easily seen.

Most of the near-Earth asteroids in such tight orbits will have limited lifetimes in the inner solar system. They’re fated to collide with planets, succumb to the searing sun, or be chucked outward.

NASA is monitoring three asteroids soaring past the Earth at about 8,000 to 15,000 miles per hour, the biggest of which measures around 1,300 feet in diameter. The largest space rock, known as ...

They found that out of around 1.3 million craters on the moon with a diameter greater than a kilometre, nearly 6500 were made by asteroids containing commercial quantities of platinum.

Venus is concealing at least three city-killer asteroids that could strike Earth in weeks without warning, potentially wreaking havoc upon our planet before we can react. “Twenty co-orbital ...

A minimum of three 'city-killer' asteroids have been spotted near Venus, and they could strike Earth in the next few weeks without warning.

Mission, if approved, would involve construction of a space-based telescope capable of detecting asteroids and comets that pose impact hazards to earth. UA takes lead on new NASA mission to detect ...
