A new video shared on YouTube compared some of the biggest asteroids that could hit Earth.

This classic Wired gallery, which originally ran in August 2009, was the first of our popular collections of images of Earth from space. This one includes some of the most spectacular asteroid impact craters on the planet.

With a diameter of 1 to 2km, space rock named 2022 AP7 crosses our orbit but has ‘no chance’ of hitting Earth

The company Planetary Resources plans to mine asteroids for metals and water ice. See how it could work in this SPACE.com infographic.

Here's the path of the nearly 1,400 asteroids that would cause "major devastation" if they hit our planet.

NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has detected three asteroids that are expected to approach the planet tomorrow. According to the data collected by the agency, all three asteroids...

The good news is, we can do something about it.

The most destructive weapon humanity has ever developed could help our species avoid going the way of the dinosaurs.

Starseeds are walking on the Planet alongside Earthlings. Who are they? Are you one of them?

Don't panic -- this is just a drill.

A study modelling how dinosaurs spread worldwide shows they may have been a victim of their own success.

[/caption] Even though the Late Heavy Bombardment is somewhat of a controversial idea, new research has revealed this period of impacts to the Earth-Moon system may have lasted much longer than originally estimated and well into the time when early life was forming on Earth. Additionally, this “late-late” period of impacts — 3.8 billion to … Continue reading "Ancient Asteroids Kept Pelting Earth in a ‘Late-Late’ Heavy Bombardment"

Nature, is sometimes beautiful landscapes. Sometimes bad storms. Always nature is our home address. Nature gives us our elements and air, food and water. Nature also includes all that is alive. So, nature is full of life or not. 99% of the life that has ever lived on Earth is not alive today. Nature - Links of Life is the true story of the connection between rocks, plants and us humans. We live in an awesome, colorful but ever changing world. The book - Big Die, is the story of the theories of earth's mass extinctions. The causes include too cold then too hot weather around the world. Also, atmosphere is a contributor as the amounts of oxygen and green house gases change over time. Other causes are from space. This includes collisions with comets and asteroids to killer radiation rays from star bursts. Fossils show us that our home planet can turn hostile. The hope for the human race is to take care of our current home planet. Even, as we explore space to build a backup place to call home. | Author: Douglas J.

This Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22, three former NASA astronauts will present new evidence that our planet has experienced many more large-scale asteroid impacts over the past decade than previously thought… three to ten times more, in fact. A new visualization of data from a nuclear weapons warning network, to be unveiled by B612 Foundation CEO Ed Lu during the evening event at Seattle's Museum of Flight, shows that "the only thing preventing a catastrophe from a 'city-killer' sized asteroid is blind luck."

Like the poor Earthlings whose impending doom the genre chronicles, the asteroid disaster movie could be on its last legs.That may not be immediately apparent, since a new killer-asteroid film, "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," opens at theaters nationwide Friday (June 22).

An asteroid is going to swing by Earth today, tomorrow, maybe next week, or even next month. It is not going to hit us. It is not going to end civilization. It is not going to cause a decades-long nuclear winter. Don’t worry.

According to NASA, the biggest asteroid to approach Earth this year will arrive in a couple of weeks. If the potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) ends up hitting Earth, the impact event would create...
