DW flew about 139,000 miles (224,000 km) away from Earth. The space rock was estimated to be about 43 feet wide (13 m). Credit: Space.com | animation: NASA/JPL-Caltech | edited by Steve Spaleta Music: ...

Using computer simulations, the researchers uncovered a scenario in which an ancient asteroid impact briefly amplified that field, just long enough for nearby rocks to capture and record its magnetic ...

There should be rocks showing both impact shock and high magnetism located near the lunar South Pole on the far side of the ...

Scientists may have solved the mystery of why the moon shows ancient signs of magnetism although it has no magnetic field today. An impact, such as from a large asteroid, could have generated a cloud ...

Over at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the Shanxi Province, a CZ-6A launched Yaogan 40 Group 02 into polar orbit on ...

While the moon once had a weak magnetic field generated by a small molten core, the team's research suggests it likely wouldn ...

A combination of a dynamo-generated magnetic field and massive impacts could explain the highly magnetized rocks in some ...

One of the asteroids will come as close as within 120,000 miles from the Earth, soaring past at over 41,000 miles per hour.

Two new studies used gravity data to pull back the curtain on the deep interiors of the Moon and one of the solar system’s largest asteroids.

In recent years, humanity has visited several near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), including Ryugu (Hayabusa2) and Didymos (DART).
