Asteroids are amazing objects, they are kind of the leftover building blocks of our solar systems. they take us all the way back to the start of our solar system, just over 11.5 billion years ago. they tell us how we ended up with planets like the earth. we are really excited, its a fantastic opportunity to learn what the asteroid is made from, what is it structure like, and what can it tell us about our origins. it is notjust you that is excited, i am quite excited. i would like to look outside...

It is going to pass by quite close to the earth, and we are going to be able to study it. we will be able to use our observatories, use our telescope to look at this asteroid as it passes by. asteroids are amazing objects, they are kind of the leftover building blocks of our solar systems. they take us all the way back to the start of our solar system, just over 11.5 billion years ago. they tell us how we ended up with planets like the earth. we are really excited, its a fantastic opportunity to...

The second rock from the sun is much like the third, at least in terms of volcanic activity. "It's an active planet—right now," says Robert Herrick, a planetary...

Of course we do recognise increasingly because we see all those impact structures on the other planets and on earth, we do know that it planets and on earth, we do know thatitis planets and on earth, we do know that it is potentially hazardous. there is a lot of space debris up there, isnt there? are we getting to the point where there is a risk that the space debris could well knock off an asteroid like this? or in the future it knock it off its track and make it head towards the moon or the ea...

Our planet isn't the only place in the solar system with dramatic weather changes - Hubble recently captured seasonal changes to two of the outer planets.

Its going such a high speed over six and a half kilometres every second. so its so much energy. so thats why, you know, there is this general issue that if ever an asteroid hit this sort of speed and side did burst over the earth, then it could have potentially catastrophic effects. i mean, this must be wonderful for scientists like yourself in terms of what information you can gather from an asteroid like this. yes, weve learnt an awful lot during the space age, not just about the planets but a...

It sounds. but a so called city killer asteroid is heading our way, according to a tweet by nasa newly discovered asteroid will pass by earth later today will be about 100,000 miles away . nasa says that while close approaches are a regular occurrence, only one this big only happens about once a decade now, while some of us might go hiding under our bed, nasa calls it to quote unique opportunity for science story is expected to fly by harmlessly. between earth and the moon. and star gazers are b...
