NASA's DART asteroid smash flung 2 million pounds of rock into space | Space
The massive tail created by the collision of a spacecraft and an asteroid earlier this year is unlocking key information about space rocks — and how to manage any such rock that may one day threaten Earth.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test ( DART ) mission slammed into a small space rock called Dimorphos in late September in preparation for the possibility humans may one day want to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth .
World's first asteroid-hunting spacecraft to launch in 2028
NASA has announced plans to launch NEO Surveyor, the world’s first asteroid-hunting spacecraft, in 2028 — cementing its commitment to protecting Earth from potentially devastating asteroid impacts.
The challenge: Asteroids that come within 30 million miles of Earth are called “near-Earth objects” (NEOs), and if one of them wider than 460 feet were to hit our planet, it could potentially flatten a city.

Asteroid the Size of a Baseball Field Set for Close Encounter With Earth
A huge asteroid that may measure up to 460 feet in diameter is set to soar near the Earth on Thursday.
The asteroid, named 2015 RN35, will pass our planet at a distance of about 426,000 miles and will be traveling at speeds of 5.91 kilometers per second, or around 13,220 miles per hour, as shown by close approach data from NASA 's Near Earth Observatory.
Everything scientists would want to know if an asteroid was heading toward Earth
An asteroid that struck Earth 66 million years triggered a megatsunami that wiped many of the dinosaurs
Small asteroids crash into Earth all the time, but what would happen in the rare occurrence that an asteroid bigger than a bus survived an encounter with Earth’s atmosphere?
OSIRIS-REx asteroid samples will land on Earth in 2023 | Space
Six years and more than 200 million miles later, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft is finally on its way home from the asteroid Bennu. In just under a year, on Sept.
This week at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) 2022 Fall Meeting held in Chicago and virtually, planetary scientists gathered to discuss what to expect from next year's OSIRIS-REx sample return. Their new year's resolution?
