Late in 2024, astronomers spotted a new near-Earth asteroid named 2024 YR4. By mid-2025, its improved orbit tracking raised an unusual possibility: the space rock could hit the Moon on Dec.

Most near-Earth asteroids are thought to drift in from the main asteroid belt. But a small subset may have a much closer origin: the moon. One intriguing example is 469219 Kamoʻoalewa (2016 HO3), an ...

Earth is still collecting scars from space, and scientists are only now learning to read them properly. Newly mapped impact craters, both on land and hidden beneath the oceans, are revealing that ...

Volcanic caves are not just an Earth thing. Scientists have spotted signs of lava tubes on the Moon and Mars. Now, ...

A nearly 60 meter Apollo-class near-Earth asteroid, 2024 YR4 was spotted in 2024 whose path crosses both Earth’s and the Moon ...

Nasa's HiRISE camera captures a strikingly young 0.8-km crater in Acidalia Planitia on Mars, revealing sharp details and bluish deposits from a recent meteor impact.

A stronomers are getting prepared for the chance to see "the most energetic lunar impact event ever recorded in human history", which will take place in 2032, with a little luck.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, once a potential threat to Earth, could hit the Moon in 2032, creating a 1 km crater, a bright flash visible from Earth, and a possible meteor shower, scientists say.

A small asteroid could strike the Moon in 2032, sparking moonquakes, glowing craters and meteor showers, while scientists debate whether to stop it or watch a rare cosmic experiment unfold.
