A 140-foot asteroid named 2007 EG is speeding toward Earth at over 17,000 mph and will make a close flyby soon.

NASA is keeping an eye on near-Earth objects. One such object is a small asteroid called 2026 FB. This asteroid is expected ...

A 140-foot space rock, Asteroid 2007 EG, will pass relatively close to Earth soon. Scientists say it’s harmless, yet they’re watching carefully. Why does this flyby matter for future asteroid defence?

A new study shows NASA’s asteroid-smashing DART mission subtly changed an asteroid system’s orbit around the Sun.

New spacecraft techniques propose using CubeSats, laser rangefinding, and precise Doppler measurements to determine the mass of potentially hazardous asteroids during flyby missions.
