A large asteroid, 2003 MH4, is set to approach Earth on May 24, 2025, at a distance of 6.68 million kilometers. Classified as ...

A fossil from British Columbia, originally discovered in the 80s, has finally been identified as a new species named ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Over at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the Shanxi Province, a CZ-6A launched Yaogan 40 Group 02 into polar orbit on ...

While the moon once had a weak magnetic field generated by a small molten core, the team's research suggests it likely wouldn ...

A combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some ...

There have been proposed hypotheses as to how the Moon could have developed a core dynamo. For instance, a 2022 analysis ...

The Kinetica-1 rocket launched Wednesday for the first time since a failure doomed its previous attempt to reach orbit in ...

There’s a new frozen oddball orbiting the Sun, and it’s not your average space rock. It’s a planet—a minor one, to be ...

A massive asteroid heads toward Earth with increasing impact probability for 2032. NASA deploys the James Webb Telescope to assess this potential city-killer.

One of the asteroids will come as close as within 120,000 miles from the Earth, soaring past at over 41,000 miles per hour.
