When NASA’s DART spacecraft deliberately crashed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos, it did more than change the asteroid’s local orbit — it slightly shifted the path of the entire asteroid pair ...

There were concerns that Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon or Earth.

New research reveals that when NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid Redirection Test) spacecraft intentionally impacted the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in September 2022 ...

It is the first man-made object to have shifted the orbit of a naturally occurring entity in space.

In 2022, NASA hit Dimorphos with a spacecraft. But looking back through the data, astronomers believe they have found evidence of an impact event prior to the big test.

An asteroid estimated to be a kilometer (3,451 feet) wide will fly by Earth on January 18. The video in the media player above is from a related report. It will pass within 1.2 million miles of our ...
