Madrid. A total of fifteen active asteroids have been discovered in a review of 430 thousand images from the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) of the Víctor M. Blanco telescope in Chile. Some extraordinary asteroids have “activity”: comet-like tails or envelopes of gas and dust. NASA’s Active Asteroids project had more than eight thousand volunteer astronomers … Read more
Scientists in America have developed a new tool to simulate the use of a nuclear device to change the path of catastrophic asteroids and prevent them from colliding with Earth. According to Planetary Science Journal, the new study provides an innovative way to model the spread of energy from a nuclear device on the surface … Read more

During a recent excursion to the icy plains of Antarctica, an international team of researchers discovered five new meteorites – including one of the largest ever discovered on that continent. The rare meteorite is about the size of a cantaloupe but weighs 7.7 kilograms. It is one of around 100 of that size or larger … Read more
It appears to us as a simple dot of light. This is how the asteroid appears in the photographs that in the early hours of this Friday, shortly after midnight, made a pass extremely close to the Earth. Astronomers never considered that this cosmic rock, from three to three to eight meters in diameter, was … Read more
The main purpose of the galaxy image is to fill in the gaps in Hubble’s observations of known galaxies located near our Milky Way. Dwarf galaxy UGC 7983 (file photo) A small asteroid appeared in the vicinity of dwarf galaxy UGC 7983 when it was photographed by Hubble Space Telescope. UGC 7983 is a small … Read more
Scientists have discovered 3 extremely destructive asteroids hidden in the solar system. These are asteroids close to Earth. One of these is the most dangerous asteroid ever discovered, according to scientists at the NoirLab research center. Due to the glare of sunlight, they could not be detected that way. But they were discovered during low-light … Read more
Scientists began to learn ferrous and surprising information about asteroids, after the launch of NASA’s Dart spacecraft test image analysis, when it collided with the asteroid “Demorphos”, and scientists found that when they hit it, asteroids interact strangely like water, and not masses of gravel as they are, according to RT’s website. And Dr. Phil … Read more
