The proposed national US budget for 2026 contains a few nasty surprises for NASA, and some serious disappointments—among them ...

Astronomers estimate that an asteroid this large comes this close to Earth only about once every 7,500 years. It also appears ...

RAW color commentator Pat McAfee is currently on hiatus from calling the show and has been missing for the past three weeks.

It's time for our annual listener question show, where we find answers to your burning science questions like: is the asteroid belt an exploded planet? Why can't whales breathe under water? What ...

Bennu has practically no chance of hitting Earth then, but depending on precisely when and where Bennu makes its close approach, our planet’s gravity could tweak the asteroid’s orbit enough to ...

Dozens of NASA's spaceflight missions that launched from Florida could be in jeopardy under a budget proposal from the Trump administration.

Although the chances are slim, scientists estimate that Bennu has a 1-in-2,700 chance of striking our planet. If such an event were to occur, it wouldn't happen until the year 2182, meaning ...

If Bennu were to impact our planet, it would generate up to 400 million tons of dust into the stratosphere, cause marked alterations in climate, atmospheric chemistry and global photosynthesis.

Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of hitting Earth in the year 2182.

The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid, currently making its closest approach to Earth every six years at about 186,000 miles away. It might come even closer in the ...

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.

“Hopefully, humans may be able to defend our planet from Bennu by deflecting its trajectory if it heads toward Earth.” In 2022, NASA rammed a spacecraft into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos as ...
