This asteroid is bigger than scientists anticipated, about 5 miles long and 2 miles wide at its widest point — resembling a deformed peanut.

NASA's Lucy spacecraft recently got an up-close look at a strange peanut-shaped space rock floating through the cosmos in the main asteroid belt.

Scientists said it most likely originated in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and is rich in silicates. At one point earlier this year, NASA and the European Space Agency put the ...

This is a still from an animation showing asteroid 2024 YR4 as it passes by Earth and heads toward its potential impact with the Moon. This 3D shape of the asteroid was determined from data obtained ...

Image: NOIRLab This space rock was discovered on December 27 last year by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) when it flew past Earth from a distance of 2.5 million kilometres.

One of the most surprising discoveries came after astronomers created a 3D model of the asteroid using data from the Gemini South telescope in Chile, media report suggests. Unlike most asteroids ...
