Asteroid nearly collides with Earth in close call fly-by

The asteroid is relatively small at 10 to 20 feet. If it were in an impact trajectory, it would have turned into a fireball – a meteor that has a visual magnitude greater than that of Venus, burning as it entered the atmosphere and breaking into fragments of rock. ...

Astronomers detect closest asteroid to fly by the Earth six hours too late

Asteroid 2020 QG is about 10 to 20 feet in diameter, which is about the size of an SUV. ... The asteroid was estimated to be the size of an average house – 10 times larger than asteroid 2020 QG. "...

NASA draws up plans to land astronaut on doomsday asteroid

But, with a smallish asteroid called Apophis having already been identified as a possible threat to Earth in 2036, NASA is taking the exercise very seriously. ... Mirrors, lights and even paint could change the way an asteroid or similar object could absorb enough light and heat to shift its direction over 20 years or so. "...

NASA only has a 10% chance of detecting deadly asteroids before they strike Earth

NASA's near-Earth object (NEO) tracking program has only, thus far, been able to identify 10 percent of the medium-sized asteroids that might pose a threat to human life and civilization - meaning that if such an object were to head our way, it more than likely would go undetected. ... Authorities believe that the meteor had broken off of the asteroid 2014 RC (nicknamed "Pitbull"), which NASA had detected only the week before. "...

Daytime fireball meteor generates sonic boom over UK and France

Meanwhile, dimmer fireballs often make their way to the planet every 20 hours or so. Most fireballs go unnoticed because they are not bright enough to be seen during the daytime. "...

NASA: Asteroid bigger than a basketball court will soon hurtle past Earth

Asteroid 2011 ES4 was discovered on March 2, 2011. It was classified as an Apollo asteroid – that is, it has a wide orbit around Earth and the Sun compared to other objects in the asteroid belt. ... The first attempt at sample collection is set for October 20 this year. If all goes according to plan, the OSIRIS-Rex mission will mark the first U.S. mission to bring rock samples from an asteroid back to Earth. "...

Giant asteroid on collision course with Earth could NOT be stopped by a nuclear bomb, NASA simulation shows

The asteroid, named 2021PDC, it was placed 35 million miles away and given an estimated five percent probability of hitting the planet on Oct. 20. ... But the simulation’s stipulation that the asteroid could be anywhere from 114 feet to half a mile in size meant that there was little certainty a nuke could even make a dent on the asteroid. "...
