NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured this image showing the nightside surface of Venus. A family of asteroids share the planet's orbit, and two new studies suggest that one day the space rocks could ...

NASA is closely monitoring a bus-sized asteroid, “2025 XF1,” which is rapidly approaching Earth this week. With speeds of ...

A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, astronomers have warned in new research. The giant space rocks are believed ...

Asteroid 2025 XF1 is hurting through the solar system at nearly 8,000 miles per hour, according to the spacy agency.

Amateur astronomer Tony Dunn must have been particularly impressed by the November crop of new asteroids to have put the 18 ...

For the past two decades, NASA has focused on identifying 90% of near-Earth objects that could pose a threat to our planet. The space agency has made steady progress in detecting dangerous asteroids ...

Simulations of asteroids near Venus reveal gaps in our ability to detect them. Astronomers are investigating a little-known and largely unseen group of asteroids that quietly orbit the sun alongside ...

Astronomers have revealed new sources of meteorites within the solar system's asteroid belt, helping us understand where potentially hazardous asteroids might also originate. The researchers tracked ...

Because their orbits are unstable, a possibility exists that the asteroids could break off from their current trajectory and one day head on a collision course for Earth. The Venusian space rocks are ...
