Asteroid To Pass Earth

The asteroid Apophis, named after the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, is set to pass extremely close to Earth in 2029, potentially causing seismic activity and landslides on its surface due to Earth's gravity. These changes could alter Apophis’ surface, providing a rare opportunity to observe asteroid dynamics in real-time. A team from Johns Hopki...

Asteroid 2024 ON, a large, two-lobed object, passed safely by Earth on Sept. 17, 2024. Resembling a snowman in shape, the asteroid’s radar images were captured by NASA’s Goldstone Solar System Radar. Despite being classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, 2024 ON did not pose a threat to Earth, passing at a distance of over 620,000 miles....

A plane-sized asteroid will safely pass by Earth today, offering scientists a chance to gather valuable data about near-Earth objects. While this particular asteroid poses no threat, it highlights the importance of ongoing asteroid research and monit

The study said that the asteroid belt was formed due to the break-up of an asteroid passing within Earth's Roche limit.

Recent simulations suggest a very small chance that asteroid Apophis could be deflected onto a collision course with Earth before its close approach in 2029. Although current data points to a safe pass, the risk remains, especially if another space object were to strike Apophis. The odds are extremely low, but a final verdict won’t be available u...

On June 27th, asteroid 2011 UL21 made its closest recorded approach to Earth, passing by at a safe distance of 17 times the Earth-Moon distance.

An asteroid designated as 2024 BR4 is set to make a breathtakingly close pass by Earth this Valentine's Day.

2023 RO1 has passed by the Earth before, but this is the closest-ever approach to the planet, as per NASA data.

On February 3, the asteroid came quite close to Earth before leaving at a safe distance of 1.1 million miles (1.8 million kilometers).

Asteroid 2023 BU passed only about 3,600 km from the surface of Earth on January 27. That distance is just slightly farther than the distance between Perth and Sydney and is only about 1 per cent the distance between Earth and our Moon. This makes 2023 BU the fourth-closest known asteroid encounter with Earth.

According to the European Space Agency (ESA), this holiday season you may very well be able to spot an asteroid not larger than the Statue of Liberty, that is travelling towards the Earth.

On its way to the space rocks Trojans, NASA's Lucy probe observed its smallest asteroid target named Polymele, which was expected to pass in front of a star. As the asteroid passed, it blocked the star briefly allowing astronomers to observe the star blink along with another object. Located some 200km from Polymele, astronomers think that is likely...

An asteroid the size of a small bus will whizz past the Earth at 90,000 kilometres away today. Estimated to measure between 5.5 and 12.5 meters, the asteroid 2022 NF was discovered only on July 4. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says the asteroid will safely pass the planet, and astronomers will be able to watch Asteroid 2022 NF, when it flies b...

This is not the first time that Asteroid 388945 has paid us a visit. It passed very close to Earth in May 2020

An asteroid which was believed to be on a collision course with Earth does not post a threat to the planet, according to the ESA. The 2022 AE1 asteroid is expected to pass by Earth at a safe distance of 10 million kilometres, more than 20 times Earth-moon distance.
