The James Webb Space Telescope had to perform outside of its design limits to observe the collision of NASAs DART probe with asteroid moonlet Dimorphos last year.

There were fears that the massive asteroid 367789 (2011 AG5) could potentially impact the Earth between 2040 and 2047, but later NASA calculations found it unlikely.

New research found that the rubble-pile asteroid Itokawa is almost as old as the solar system itself and can survive collisions for 10 times longer than its conventional, single-body counterparts.

First detected just days ago, 2023 BU will approach within 2,200 miles of our planet’s surface before moving on.

A radar system less powerful than a household microwave has captured the highest-resolution pictures of the Moon ever captured from Earth.

The asteroid in question has been designated 2023 BL1 and will fly closer to the Earth than the Moon's own distance. But it won't hit, so Don't Look Up.

Last year kicked off the era of JWST, while astronomers mapped out the next decade of discovery and released some of the first results from the Hayabusa2 mission to asteroid Ryugu.

Both asteroids 2019 BO2 and 2019 BZ4 are around 36 meters in diameter, meaning 100 pugs. But it won't hit us – pugs are more likely to.

The past year saw huge advancements in the space industry. We witnessed landmark achievements such as the discovery of the earliest galaxies seen to date,

Both asteroids 2023 AT and 2023 AE1 are as much as 22 meters wide, meaning 22 emperor penguins. They won't hit us though – penguins are more likely to.
