Scientists have simulated the formation of a giant crater on Asteroid 16 Psyche to predict what the space rock looks like on the inside. Nasa's Psyche mission, arriving in 2029, will finally reveal ...

A massive crater on asteroid Psyche may hold the key to whether it’s a lost planet’s core or something more complex. New simulations suggest NASA’s upcoming mission could finally solve the mystery.

A massive asteroid slammed into the southern North Sea between 43 and 46 million years ago, producing a 330-foot tsunami that would have surged toward ancient coastlines near what is now Hull, England ...

Simulation shows off what would happen if a giant asteroid hits the ocean as scientists solve a 20 year old mystery ...

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.

Video: Simulation of an asteroid impact that triggered a North Sea tsunami 43 million years ago. New research recreates the asteroid strike that carved the Silverpit crater and un ...

A long-running debate about the Silverpit Crater beneath the North Sea has finally been resolved. Scientists now confirm it formed when a roughly 160-meter asteroid struck the seabed about 43–46 ...

In 2022, a NASA spacecraft intentionally barreled into the tiny asteroid Dimorphos during a planetary defense test. New observations show how it went.

Humanity has taken a 'notable step forward' in its ability to deflect asteroids heading towards Earth, a new study reveals.

Ever wondered how those weird, floating \"snowmen\" way out in the deep freeze of the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune's orbit ...

Images from NASA’s DART mission revealed the first direct evidence that asteroids in a binary system can exchange rocks and dust. Slow moving debris from the asteroid Didymos appears to have struck ...
