This will be the closest approach of the giant asteroid to Earth for more than half a century. Next week, the planet Earth is in a moment of close encounter with a giant rock space, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). has been announced. Known as the asteroid 454094 (2013 BZ45), the horrible thing is believed to be so …

Apophis 99942 was a 370-meter wide near Earth space rock that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 when preliminary observations indicated a possibility of up to three percent possible hits Earth on April 13, 2029. However. , in 2006 scientists ruled that date, specifying that Apophis was passing through a gravitational keyhole – a small region of …

The robotic investigation was launched on July 7, 2004, as part of NASA's Mars Exploration program. It didn't cover more than 28 miles of the Red Planet before the agency lost contact in June 2018. The photos and readings taken by the probe strongly advance our understanding of the planet that tips scientists to a day host of human life. …

Olivier Hainaut, of the European Southern Observatory in Garching, Germany, detected this bizarre cosmological body called Gault. He said: “This self-destruction event is rare. Active and unstable asteroids such as Gault are just now being detected because of new survey telescopes that scan the entire sky, which means asteroids that are misbehaving such as Gault cannot escape detection anymore. " …

Researchers say they discovered the first near "super-Earth" planet that could support life. The discovery was made by a spacecraft designed to search for planets outside our solar system. An international team of astronomers recently announced their findings in the publication Astronomy & Astrophysics . The new discovery is known as an exoplanet, a planet that orbits a star outside …

Asteroids may one day prove to be a source of gold, diamonds and other minerals often found on Earth. Future colonists can tap into flying rock spaces to help build space habitats and produce rocket fuel when away from Earth. But there is an inherent danger that injuring an asteroid can affect the speed and direction it is flying. In …
