Another plane-sized space rock, known as the "2025 DY5" and measuring about 92 feet across, will zip past our planet this ...

Space agencies have systems in place to spot, track, and forecast the future orbits of potentially hazardous asteroids.

The asteroid is hurtling towards us at a zippy 15,000 miles per hour, according to the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

A space probe named Hera captured images of Mars' small Deimos moon while on a mission to examine an asteroid.

Agency looking at ways to use planet-threatening rocks’ tiny gravitational fields to slightly alter their trajectories ...

“Our general problem is that smaller bodies are hard to detect, they’re faint, we don’t know their orbits very well. And ...

The Hera probe has swung around Mars, using the planet’s gravitational pull to fling itself toward its asteroid target.

The results of Hera's flyby could ultimately tell us whether Deimos is a captured asteroid or made from debris from a giant ...
