Bookmark or Share- NASA’s Webb Reveals Smallest Asteroids Yet Found in Main Asteroid BeltNASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope includes asteroids on its list of objects studied and secrets revealed. A team led by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge repurposed Webb’s observations of a distant star to reveal a population of small asteroids — smaller than astronomers had ever detected orbiting the Sun in the main asteroid belt ...
- Next Five Asteroid Approaches - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)The Asteroid Watch dashboard tracks asteroids and comets that will make relatively close approaches to Earth. The dashboard displays the date of closest approach, approximate object diameter, relative size and distance from Earth for each encounter.
- NASA’s Planetary Radar Tracks Two Large Asteroid Close ApproachesThe Goldstone Solar System Radar, part of NASA’s Deep Space Network, made these observations of the recently discovered 500-foot-wide (150-meter-wide) asteroid 2024 MK, which made its closest approach — within about 184,000 miles (295,000 kilometers) of Earth — on June 29.
- Apophis - NASA ScienceWhen Apophis was discovered in 2004, it appeared the asteroid could potentially impact Earth in the coming decades. Astronomers closely tracked the asteroid, and now NASA is confident that there is no risk of Apophis impacting our planet for at least 100 years.
- Eyes on Asteroids | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)This interactive visualization uses data from JPL's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), which computes high-precision orbits for Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) in support of NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office.
