Donaldjohanson, a main belt asteroid, could be a relic of a cosmic collision that took place 150 million years ago.

Smithsonian and NASA scientists set out to collect an asteroid sample that may hold clues to the origins of life in our solar system.

A spacecraft's sample return capsule was detected entering the Earth's atmosphere using acoustic sensors by a team of scientists from the Los Alamos National Laboratory and Colorado State University.

Donaldjohanson formed about 150 million years ago when a much larger asteroid broke apart. Since then, its orbit and spin ...
