After Flight Radar released an image of the dispersion of the commercial flights around the world right now, a number of frequent fliers have been unnerved by one creepy detail. For those in need of a ...

In the quest to understand the fundamental forces of nature, scientists have turned their attention to a long-debated theory: the existence of a fifth force. A recent study,published in Nature ...

Because this asteroid will zoom by Earth in 2029, a detailed study of its trajectory will deliver even further restrictions on the fifth force than what Bennu could provide.

Bennu, one of the most dangerous near-Earth objects, has been meticulously tracked by optical and radar astrometric data since it was discovered in 1999. As the destination for the OSIRIS-REx asteroid ...

The team focused on periods when researchers knew OSIRIS-REx’s position relative to Bennu to within a meter (3.3 feet), based on images the spacecraft was taking of the asteroid’s surface.

In 2018, it arrived at Bennu, a near-Earth asteroid as wide as the Sears Tower is tall. The mission collected pieces of the asteroid and brought them back to Earth in 2023.

The Field Museum received a rare, pristine sample of asteroid Bennu from NASA — a "time capsule" from the early solar system, untouched for 4.6 billion years. Scientists will study the carbon ...

The photo was likely snapped by Tianwen-2's medium-field color camera, which will capture contextual images of Kamo'oalewa when it reaches the asteroid next year.

China has revealed the first image from its Tianwen 2 asteroid sample return mission, which is now more than 3 million kilometers (1.9 million miles) from Earth.
