In a cosmic twist of fate, scientists have confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4, a near-Earth asteroid previously thought to pose ...

That leaves thinner air at the edge of space. The problem is that atmospheric density is the only thing that naturally pulls space junk out of orbit. Earth’s atmosphere doesn’t suddenly give way to ...

Climate change is already causing all sorts of problems on Earth, but soon it will be making a mess in orbit around the planet too, a new study finds. MIT researchers calculated that as global warming ...

YR4, which orbits the sun every four years and periodically crosses Earth's orbit. The nature of its orbit makes it a potentially hazardous object (PHO), meaning it could pose a collision risk to ...

Satellites serve many purposes while they orbit above the Earth, but as they do so, how fast do they actually move? The ...

From an astrological point of view, there are hardly two words that elicit a stronger reaction than Mercury retrograde.

February, asteroid 2024 YR4 was spotted and originally believed to have a 3.1 per cent of hitting Earth in 2032. Further calculations revealed this was not the case.

Each planet in our solar system takes a different amount of time to complete one orbit around the sun. For example, Mercury, being closest to the sun, takes just 88 Earth days to complete one orbit.

Starlink satellites orbit approximately 342 miles (550 kilometers) above Earth and put on a spectacular show for observers as they move across the sky. This show is not welcomed by all and can ...

The purpose is to keep it aligned with the Earth's orbit around the sun. The Gregorian calendar has 365 days in a year, however the Earth's orbit around the sun takes 365.2425 days which is ...
