Astronomers have gotten a glimpse of the "city-killer" asteroid before it disappears until 2028, according to NASA.

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

NASA said that an asteroid previously believed to be destined for Earth is now more likely to make impact with the moon.

Asteroid Bennu, a 4.5-billion-year-old space rock, may hold clues to Earth's origins. With traces of water, amino acids, and organic materials, it could unlock the mystery of life's beginnings.

NASA spacecraft touched down on the rugged surface of the Bennu asteroid on Tuesday, grabbing a sample of rocks dating back to the birth of our solar system to bring home. The minivan-sized OSIRIS ...

Donaldjohanson formed about 150 million years ago when a much larger asteroid broke apart. Since then, its orbit and spin have changed significantly. This discovery comes from a study led by the (SwRI ...
