NASA has created a map of 'potentially hazardous' asteroids that could pose an impact threat to Earth. See why NASA mapped more than 1,400 potentially dangerous space rocks.

Twenty years ago, the U.S. Congress instructed NASA to find 90% of near-Earth asteroids threatening Earth. They've made progress finding these asteroids that orbit the sun and come to within 1.3 ...

In the battle to defend the planet from hazardous asteroids, amateur astronomers have taken on a new role — for the first time, helping to map a near-Earth asteroid (NEA), revealing its shape.

On Tuesday, three “airplane” sized asteroids will be shooting by the planet, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The first is an 84-foot one that will be 1,130,000 miles away ...

Characterizing near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) is critical if we hope to eventually stop one from hitting us. But so far, missions to do so have been expensive, which is never good for space exploration.

In the vast expanse of space, an estimated 1 million near-Earth objects (NEOs), also known as near-Earth asteroids, are constantly orbiting close to our planet. Every night, astronomers track NEOs ...
