Explore the scientific strategies that might actually help humanity survive a catastrophic asteroid impact.

Efforts to “save species” with deep learning are not without controversy.

2025 HU isn't the only asteroid approaching the Earth today. NASA is also tracking an airplane-sized space rock known as 2025 GD1, which is estimated to be about 86 feet across and will zip past the ...

A new study challenges the idea that dinosaurs were declining before the asteroid impact. Researchers at UCL Earth Sciences examined thousands of fossils. They found fewer accessible rocks from ...

The early calculations predicted an impact probability of 1.3% with Earth on December 22nd, 2032, and estimated its size to be between 40 and 90 meters. These estimates gave the asteroid a Torino ...

An international team is currently closely tracking the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4. The impact probability estimates for the year 2032 has been reduced from a peak of 3 percent to below 0.001 ...

this massive asteroid triggered the first-ever notification from the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) on January 29, this year. Over time, subsequent observations and calculations have ...

While we can't be certain, the analysis could not rule out an asteroid with a rocky composition. If this is the case, the researchers calculated, an impact with Earth would release energy between ...

The space rock is expected to zoom past our planet today at a speed of around 45,991 miles per hour, according to NASA.
