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 9 months 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 11 months ago Tonight, NASA's DART will slam into an asteroid at 24,000 kph NASA's hoping for a DART bullseye. By Phil Plait 12 months 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.
