A new study challenges the idea that dinosaurs were declining before the asteroid impact. Researchers at UCL Earth Sciences examined thousands of fossils. They found fewer accessible rocks from ...

Among the 8,000 fossil records examined, Ceratopsians, including horned dinosaurs like Triceratops, were the most common, which may indicate a thriving population prior to the asteroid impact.

This is a still from an animation showing asteroid 2024 YR4 as it passes by Earth and heads toward its potential impact with the Moon. This 3D shape of the asteroid was determined from data obtained ...

The once-dubbed "city-killer" asteroid 2024 YR4 has surprised scientists with its 'unusual' shape as it rapidly rotates through space on a trajectory that could see it hit the moon.

The asteroid that once had a small chance of striking Earth and now might slam into the moon resembles a spinning hockey puck ...

2029 — an asteroid as wide as the Empire State Building is wide will come closer to Earth than orbiting geosynchronous satellites in a very rare event. Apophis will not impact Earth, but could ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 sparked a flurry of interest earlier this year after NASA determined there was a chance it could hit Earth. The risk of an Earth impact has since dropped to zero, but there's ...

A new study challenges the belief that dinosaurs were declining before the asteroid impact that ended their reign. Analysing 18 million years of fossil data, researchers argue that apparent drops ...

The team determined that the unusually-shaped space rock is one of the largest object in recent history that could impact the Moon. It likely originates from the main asteroid belt, with its ...
