In a bid to figure out light scattering, NASAs asteroid-smashing mission did a bit of star-spotting while cruising to its destination.

Why is our moon so weird? Was there ever life on Mars? Big cosmic questions lurk in our celestial backyard.

Designated 2022 GU6, this asteroid's flyby will be very close on a cosmic scale, passing by the Earth at a distance of around 1.2 million kilometers.

Ed Lu is a former NASA astronaut with a PhD in applied physics, and he is worried about near-Earth asteroids—space rocks at least 460 feet in diameter that have been nudged...

NASA has predicted the blue-whale-size asteroid will safely pass Earth by a significant distance of over 2.2 million miles (3.5 million kilometers).

Designated 2022 KV1, this asteroid discovered in late May is calculated by NASA to have a maximum diameter of 100 meters. For context, the average corgi is around 25 centimeters tall.

In a recent declaration from the space agency - NASA, a space rock approximately three folds the size of a blue whale might fly past Earth on the 6th of June 2022, Monday, at roughly 16,000 mph or about 26,000 in km/h.

An asteroid up to three times larger than a blue whale will zoom past Earth on Monday (June 6) at more than 16,000 mph (26,000 km/h), according to NASA. According to Live Science, the asteroid, named 2021 GT2, is predicted

An asteroid up to three times the size of a blue whale will sail past Earth on June 6, 2022.
