NASA has released new detailed images revealing a full-frame view of the peculiarly shaped asteroid Donaldjohanson.

Scientists with NASA’s Lucy mission are finally wrapping up the process of refining the data gathered by the spacecraft’s ...

Because this asteroid will zoom by Earth in 2029, a detailed study of its trajectory will deliver even further restrictions on the fifth force than what Bennu could provide.

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 ...

The team focused on periods when researchers knew OSIRIS-REx’s position relative to Bennu to within a meter (3.3 feet), based on images the spacecraft was taking of the asteroid’s surface.
