NASA has spotted two small asteroids that are expected to fly past Earth soon.

The smaller object’s mass places it in the so-called “mass gap,” which is between the heaviest known neutron stars and the lightest known black holes.

NASA has unveiled the name of the asteroid that will be the focus of its upcoming planetary defense mission. The asteroid’s name was selected in preparation for a potentially Earth-saving mission.

Meteorologists have confirmed that a massive dust cloud nicknamed Godzilla is currently headed for the U.S. According to experts, the dust cloud came from the Sahara desert and is the largest ever recorded in 50 years.

NASA recently shared a beautiful image of a rich star-forming region located in a distant constellation. According to the agency, the image can be considered as a teaser for the types of photos that will be captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.

Videos taken during SpaceX’s latest Starship test revealed the powerful explosion of the prototype spacecraft’s fuel tank. The component was deliberately destroyed by the company in order to test its limits.

NASA’s automated asteroid tracking system has spotted two near-Earth objects that are currently approaching the planet. According to the data collected by the agency, one of the asteroids will approach Earth from a distance that’s almost equivalent to that between the Earth and the Moon.

Days before the world celebrates Asteroid Day, the European Space Agency (ESA) unveiled the various programs it is currently working on that are focused on protecting the planet from an impact event caused by a near-Earth object.

SpaceX has opened the registration for the beta testing of its space-based Internet service via the company’s Starlink satellites. The company is most likely rolling out the service’s beta test in preparation for a possible commercial launch soon.

NASA’s automated asteroid tracking system has detected three massive asteroids that are expected to approach Earth this week. One of the approaching asteroids is classified as potentially hazardous.

An organization based in England hosted a live streaming event from the iconic Stonehenge to show the sunrise and sunset of the recent summer solstice. The event was live-streamed due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.

NASA detected an asteroid as big as a building that’s about to fly past Earth. According to the data collected by the agency, the incoming asteroid is expected to intersect the planet’s orbit during its upcoming visit.

A massive asteroid almost as big as the Eiffel Tower in Paris is expected to fly past Earth within the next couple of days, according to the data collected by NASA. Due to the asteroid’s size and orbit, it has been labeled as potentially hazardous.

New images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope allowed NASA scientists to collect new information on two different nebulas. These massive cosmic structures were formed following the death of two red giant stars.

A team of scientists was able to discover and identify a new organic molecule near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

NASA has spotted a massive near-Earth asteroid that’s expected to fly past the planet soon.

An eyewitness in Australia was able to capture an incredibly clear and close-up video of a bright fireball streaking across the sky.

The researchers plotted 38 bursts from FRB 180916.J0158+65 and determined its bursts would occur over a span of four days.

SpaceX has posted a new job ad in preparation for its new facility for the Starship launch vehicle.

NASA’s asteroid tracking system is currently monitoring a massive asteroid that’s expected to fly past Earth on June 18.

Scientists were able to find out the nature of the bright spots on the surface of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan. They believe their findings could assist in future missions that are focused on finding signs of alien life on the natural satellite.
