A newly discovered, "potentially hazardous" asteroid almost the size of the worlds tallest skyscraper is set to tumble past Earth just in time for Halloween, according to NASA.

RM4 2022, an asteroid with an estimated diameter of more than 2,400 feet, is expected to swing by Earth on Nov. 1, speeding at around 52,000 miles per hour.

NASA has already estimated the trajectories of all the near-Earth objects till the end of the century.

The asteroids upper size estimate is just short of the worlds tallest building.

AN ASTEROID double the size of the Empire State Building is expected to zip past Earth next week.The massive rock, dubbed by experts as 2022 RM4, has

On September 26 of this year, the DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft slammed into the moonlet/asteroid Dimorphos and vaporized itself into an expanding plume of atomized debris. Fifteen days prior, DART had released LICIAcube - the Light Italian CubeSat for Imaging Asteroids – which was hitchhiking along for the ride. However, LICIAcube wasn’t a…

Astronomers have captured the shadow of the space rock Didymos, target of NASAs asteroid-smashing DART mission, as it passed in front of distant stars.

Weeks after NASAs DART spacecraft slammed into an asteroid 6,835,083 miles from Earth, the agency confirmed the event successfully altered the celestial objects rate of orbit by approximately 32 minutes.

On Sept. 26, 2022, at 7:14 pm EDT, NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft slammed into an asteroid moonlet called Dimorphos, which orbits around a larger asteroid named Didymos. Dimorphos, roughly 163 meters in diameter, was not threatening anything. It was minding its own business, circling Didymos, when a spacecraft from Earth, roughly the…
