An asteroid has a small chance of hitting Earth less than eight years from now, and astronomers are enlisting the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to study it. Characterized as a ...

China has started assembling a planetary defence team to counter the threat of near-Earth asteroids following the discovery of a large asteroid that could strike our planet in seven years.

Nasa said it is deploying the James Webb Space Telescope to overserve the asteroid. The asteroid will be at its brightest in March 2025 when the first round of Nasa observations is scheduled.

A 2% chance of an asteroid strike is "uncommon," officials say. The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.

SCIENTISTS ARE TURNING TO THE JAMES WEBB TELESCOPE TO TRACK AN ASTEROID THAT THEY SAY COULD BE HEADED STRAIGHT FOR EARTH WITHIN THE NEXT DECADE. WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS, RIGHT? NASA SAYS ...

Bennu, a rocky object classified as a near-Earth asteroid, has a one-in-2,700 chance of colliding with the Earth in September 2182, new research has discovered. The IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

The odds of a recently discovered asteroid hitting the Earth in 2032 have slightly increased, but one local scientist from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said there’s no need to worry.

A telescope in Chile has captured footage of Asteroid 2024 YR4, an asteroid large enough to wipe out an entire city. While the city-killer asteroid is currently speeding away from Earth ...

In a rare "time-critical" decision, the James Webb Space Telescope will study the true size of the "potentially hazardous" asteroid 2024 YR4 twice over the next few months. The asteroid has a ...

What would happen if Earth were struck by another catastrophic asteroid? While such an event would be devastating, researchers at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National ...
