Astronomers have discovered six asteroids that are ‘potentially dangerous to Earth’. But is there a reason to panic? Venus, our celestial next-door neighbour, is hiding possibly hundreds of ...

It may look like Earth’s twin, but Venus is keeping secrets. New research suggests that dozens—possibly hundreds—of asteroids are quietly orbiting the Sun in sync with Venus. Known as Venus ...

At 950 feet in diameter, the asteroid is about the size of a typical stadium, or three football fields. The Virtual Telescope Project plans to stream the event live on YouTube. An asteroid about the ...

Because their orbits are unstable, a possibility exists that the asteroids could break off from their current trajectory and one day head on a collision course for Earth. The Venusian space rocks are ...

If you were to ask a group of dedicated amateur astronomers to list their favorite telescopic targets, few if any would mention asteroids. That's easy to understand. The typical asteroid lacks the jaw ...

New research on the orbits of these mysterious asteroids near Venus stress the need for better space rock surveillance. NASA's Parker Solar Probe captured this image showing the nightside surface of ...
