By mid-2025, its improved orbit tracking raised an unusual possibility: the space rock could hit the Moon on Dec. 22, 2032, with about a 4% chance. That scenario is the focus of a new arXiv preprint led by Yifan He of Tsinghua University and co-authors. Their work asks a simple question with big consequences. If a 60-meter asteroid slams into the Moon, what would you see…See the Story

Survey of 80 near Earth asteroids sharpens view of their origins and risks

Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Feb 02, 2026 Near Earth asteroids are small bodies whose orbits cross or come close to Earth, making them key tracers of Solar System formation and evolution as well as potential impact hazards for our planet. An international team led by researchers at the Purple Mountain Observatory, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has completed a one year observing campaign to better classify these objects.

As Rubin's survey gets underway, simulations suggest it could find about six lunar-origin asteroids per year

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Most near-Earth asteroids are thought to drift in from the main asteroid belt. But a small subset may have a much closer origin: the moon. One intriguing example is 469219 Kamoʻoalewa (2016 HO3), an Earth quasi-satellite whose reported spectrum resembles lunar material and which is a target of China's Tianwen-2 sample-return mission.Asteroid · China Read Article

Nasa's Warning About Comet 3i/atlas that Puts Madrid on Alert

100% Right coverage: 1 sources

NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office estimates that approximately 17,000 comets fall to Earth each year, some of which are classified as “potentially dangerous asteroids” (PHA). To do so, they must meet two fundamental criteria: having an orbit that brings it closer to less than 7.5 million kilometers from our planet and a diameter greater than 150 meters. In this context, Asteroid Launcher, a website created by computer engineer Neal Ag…3I/ATLAS · France See the Story
