NASA said that an asteroid previously believed to be destined for Earth is now more likely to make impact with the moon.

Asteroid Bennu, a 4.5-billion-year-old space rock, may hold clues to Earth's origins. With traces of water, amino acids, and organic materials, it could unlock the mystery of life's beginnings.

Donaldjohanson, a main belt asteroid, could be a relic of a cosmic collision that took place 150 million years ago.

Donaldjohanson formed about 150 million years ago when a much larger asteroid broke apart. Since then, its orbit and spin have changed significantly. This discovery comes from a study led by the (SwRI ...
