This is the second time the 2007 FFI asteroid has approached Earth since it was first discovered in March 2007. In August 2020, the asteroid reached its furthest point at a distance of 17.3 million km from Earth and hurtled at a speed of 47,950 km/hour. The asteroid 2007 FFI will return to Earth on … Read more
Despite being relatively close to Earth, Venus has proven difficult to study. Venus is also known as Earth’s “evil twin”. This is none other than because Venus is similar to Earth, both in size, mass, structure, and composition. But it is very uninhabitable. Earth has a temperate and wet climate. While Venus is dry and … Read more
Asteroid (7482) 1994 PC1 has an orbital arc of 47 years, which is the distance between observations in Earth’s night sky. The last asteroid (7482) 1994 PC1 passed near Earth about 89 years ago, or to be precise on January 17, 1993, at a distance of 1.1 million kilometers. The asteroid will return to Earth … Read more
However, when the Curiosity robot took two samples of ancient mudstone — a sedimentary rock containing clay — from a drying lake bottom, the researchers found that one rock sample contained half the amount of the mineral. In contrast, the sediment contains more iron oxide, the compound that gives Mars its rust color. – .
