Ryugu and Bennu are two different near-Earth asteroids, but new research has suggested they were likely once part of the same larger asteroid "parent body." The asteroids have the distinction of having both been visited by spacecraft in recent years.

Unsurprisingly, the reconstructed angle was a worst-case scenario.

The city-size asteroid that hit Earth 66 million years ago and doomed the dinosaurs to extinction came from the northeast at a steep angle, maximizing the amount of climate-changing gases unleashed into the atmosphere, a new study has found.

There’s still plenty of opportunity for astronomers to discover strange new objects. Researchers using the University of Hawaii’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) have found (via Gizmodo) a Trojan asteroid, 2019 LD2, that not only follows…

Bruce Willis pulled out his spacesuit from 1998's "Armageddon," which he calls his "saving the (world) outfit" amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The Hayabusa2 probe has sent back stunning images of the surface of Ryugu, giving researchers an up-close look at the asteroid’s rocky surface. February 21st, 2019, the Japanese space agency’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft touched down on the surface of the asteroid R…

Fossils have revealed that after the extinction of the dinosaurs, anchovies evolved into metre-long predators with sharp sabre-like teeth to devour other fish

Will our species go extinct? The short answer is yes. The fossil record shows everything goes extinct, eventually. Almost all species that ever lived, over 99.9%, are extinct. Some left descendants. Most – plesiosaurs, trilobites, Brontosaurus – didn’t. That’…

Such great customer service at @180fact when I asked the lady where the entrance was to the Asteroid City exhibit and she replied “I don’t know why you missed it, it’s two lefts and then stop at the first gate” and rolled her eyes, really just outstanding.

I guess everyone's telling the truth when they said Asteroid City is wes anderson's best in years. That's a 5 star movie, alright.
