The daring plan will see the US space agency launch a" kinetic impactor" into an asteroid to see

Liftoff is planned for the predawn hours of Saturday. Barely a month later, an impactor spacecraft

TOKYO: Asteroid dust collected by a Japanese space probe contains organic material that shows some of the building blocks of life on Earth may have been formed in space, scientists said on Friday. Pristine material from the asteroid Ryugu was brought back to Earth in 2020 after a six-year mission to the celestial body around 300 million kilometres away. But scientists are only just beginning to discover its secrets in the first studies on small portions of the 5.4 grams of dust and dark, tiny ro

Cataclysmic asteroid impacts have happened in the past and chances are they will happen again in the unforseeable future.... When a six-mile-wide( 10km) space rock struck the planet just off the coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula some 66 million years ago, the resulting chain reaction brought about the demise of dinosaurs.... More recently, in 2013, a 65. 5ft-wide( 20m) rock entered the atmosphere above Russia's Chelyabinsk oblast and exploded before it could hit the ground. The eruption crea
