NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has declared a 1.6% chance that a large asteroid would strike the Earth when on Dec. 22, ...

It measures 130 to 300 feet across, a pebble compared to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, which is estimated to have ...

How would our planet physically react to a future asteroid strike? Researchers simulated an idealised collision scenario with a medium-sized asteroid using a state-of-the-art climate model.

Is Earth really exceptional?  A new book seems to reaffirm that notion.  But given the right conditions, primitive life may be a mere byproduct of biophysics.

Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid ...

What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

NASA's watchful eye on the skies has recently spotted asteroid Bennu, a celestial body with a slim chance of impacting Earth. According to a study published in Science Advances, Bennu's odds of ...

The asteroid Bennu has provided groundbreaking insights into the chemistry that may have set the stage for life in the early ...

A space rock with some history could be on a collision course with Earth, though, to be fair, it's pretty unlikely. Bennu has a 1:2,700 chance of hitting us in 2182.

One of those is asteroid Bennu, the recent lucky target of an asteroid sample collection mission. In a mere 157 years – September of 2182 CE, to be precise – it has a chance of colliding with Earth.

Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global ...

A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...
