An asteroid hit Earth hours after it was discovered Monday, turning into a dazzling fireball that was spotted throughout Europe. Around 12:18 p.m. ET Sunday, astronomer Krisztián Sárneczky
But asteroid 138971 (2001 CB21) is by far the largest of the near Earth objects passing near Earth in the coming weeks. With a diameter of between 560 and 1,300 meters, the asteroid would stand a head above the 830-meter Tall Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai. The most recent close approach of another asteroid of this size was the 18 January
We actually got hit by an asteroid that was the size of a small building and that one disintegrated about 20 kilometers above the city of Chelyabinsk. And it deposited a fair number of meteorites in the ground and I happen to have a piece of the Chelyabinsk impactor right here in my hand.
Bullseye! How DART hit an asteroid 7 million miles away 05:09. Five asteroids, one as large as a house and two each the size of an airplane, will fly past Earth between Sept. 6 and Sept. 12
It is speeding along at a speed of 17,403 miles per hour (28,008 km/h) relative to Earth, but that is relatively slow by asteroid standards according to EarthSky. The heavenly body will make its
What are you doing on September 24, 2182? You may want to clear your calendar because scientists think an asteroid may hit Earth. NASA scientists are keeping a close eye on asteroid Bennu, a 1,610-foot-wide cosmic object that could smash into our planet. If Bennu were to hit the Earth, it would slam into the surface at about seven miles per second.
Now for the disturbing parts—of those 32,000 near-Earth asteroids, more than 10,000 are more than 140 m in diameter. By most common estimates, if one of those were to hit the Earth, it would be

A NEO (near-Earth object) is an asteroid or comet that comes within 50 million kilometers (30 million miles) of Earth’s orbit. They are the objects that represent a possible danger to the Earth. NEOs consist of NEAs (near-Earth asteroids) and NECs (near-Earth comets). There are far more NEAs than NECs; according to NASA as of 2022, more than

NASA effort to bring home asteroid rocks will end this weekend in triumph or a crash. This mosaic composed of images of the asteroid Bennu taken by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft shows its surprisingly
The asteroid, dubbed 2023 BU, was only 2,200 miles above the Earth's surface when it passed over South America's southern edge at 7:27 p.m. ET, NASA says. Space Look up!
By Alan Boyle, Science Editor. A big asteroid sailed past Earth last month, and astronomers haven't yet totally excluded the possibility that it'll hit us when it comes around in 2032. If the past
Updated: Sep 19, 2023 / 09:13 AM EDT. Related video above is an interview with a NASA astronaut about his extended stay in space. (WTAJ) — NASA scientists are predicting a chance that asteroid Bennu will strike Earth in the future, potentially affecting an area the size of Texas. Bennu is a Near-Earth Object (NEO) that passes by the planet

There are a further three asteroids predicted to pass between 1 and 5 million miles from the Earth in the next few days, ranging in size from that of a car to that of the Statue of Liberty.
