The massive asteroid hit the Earth eons ago and left glassy remnants across Southern Australia. But the crater is missing.
This possibility also raises concerns about Earth’s safety. Although it is unlikely that the ejected debris would reach our planet—considering the Moon’s gravity and the vast distances involved—any ...
NASA could soon trial a new defence strategy to prevent a giant asteroid hurtling towards the Moon and posing a huge risk to astronauts. It comes after NASA intentionally used a spacecraft to bump ...
An asteroid known as 2024 YR4 could be just a few years away from colliding with the moon, and such an impact could have serious consequences.
A team of researchers has put forth the idea of launching nuclear devices at asteroid 2024 YR4 with a chance of hitting the ...

An asteroid hurtling through space could hit the moon in 2032 – and scientists are weighing how best to deal with it.
The Silverpit Crater was confirmed as an asteroid impact site. Shocked crystals and seismic data prove the event created a huge tsunami. For decades, scientists have debated the origin of the ...
An asteroid about the size of a small building zoomed past Earth unnoticed by astronomers last week, coming as close to the ...
A newly discovered asteroid, designated 2025 TP5, is scheduled to make a remarkably close flyby of Earth on October 15, 2025. This celestial event is particularly intriguing as the asteroid will pass ...
