In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into an asteroid to see if it could alter its orbital period around its parent asteroid.

“The probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 will strike the Moon on 22 December 2032 is now approximately 4 percent, and this probability was still slowly rising as the asteroid faded out of view,” the ...

In the almost three years since NASA proved that it could successfully deflect an asteroid, we’ve learned a lot about these ...

Only one of the known Venus co-orbital asteroids follows a nearly circular orbit; the others move on more elongated paths that sometimes bring them closer to Earth, making them easier to detect.
