This data—called Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID)—identifies which asteroids are in the vicinity of the Earth for longer periods of time. A new method emerges for estimating the ...

YR4, which was recently spotted in the cosmos with a non-zero chance of hitting Earth in the coming years, may have caused ...

An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.

An asteroid that orbited near Earth for a few months as a mini-moon may be a chunk of the moon that was blasted off by an impact thousands of years ago.

NASA is keeping a close watch on three asteroids making near-Earth approaches today. One of them, named 2025 CF, will pass within just 77,200 miles of our planet-roughly one-third ...

PT5, a near-Earth object discovered last year, has captivated scientists with its potential lunar origins. Likely ejected ...

A near-Earth object was likely ejected into space after an impact thousands of years ago. Now it could contribute new ...
