SYFY WIRE asteroid impact The astronomical community accurately predicted an asteroid impact It's better if we find them before they find us. By Cassidy Ward 1 year ago Boom! DART changed the orbit of asteroid Dimorphos even more than we'd hoped Apparently DART didn't know its own strength. By Cassidy Ward 1 year ago Tonight, NASA's DART will slam into an asteroid at 24,000 kph NASA's hoping for a DART bullseye. By Phil Plait 1 year ago Whoop whoop whoop! NASA InSight 'hears' an asteroid impact on Mars Four separate impacts detected by the NASA lander. By Phil Plait 1 year ago A new way to find old impact craters: Look at the burned plants Apocalyptic asteroid impacts burn everything around them, which helps ID them. By Phil Plait 1 year ago Meteorites from a 2008 asteroid impact came from the space rock’s backside Debris pattern reveals how asteroid 2008 TC3 broke apart. By Phil Plait 1 year ago New method significantly speeds up the search for dangerous asteroids THOR finds Mjölnear-Earth asteroids. By Phil Plait 1 year ago JWST mirror hit by micrometeoroid, but NASA says damage is minimal NASA’s huge telescope was hit by a tiny space rock late last month. By Phil Plait 1 year ago No, asteroid 2009 JF1 is not going to hit Earth this Friday It’s not “pyramid sized,” either. By Phil Plait 1 year ago UPDATE: So, about that 'young' asteroid impact crater in Greenland... it's actually old. Really old. Huge crater under the ice is 60 million years old.
