NASA's Lucy spacecraft will soon travel by asteroid Donaldjohanson, which formed roughly 150 million years ago.

The 700–1,300 feet-wide space rock deformed rocks more than six miles from the impact site when it hit 600 million years ago.

In fact, YR4 now has a higher chance of crashing into the moon that year, with odds standing at 1.7%, according to NASA. "There is no significant potential for this asteroid to impact our planet ...

Astronomers were reportedly waiting for the skies to become darker to better study and understand the asteroid's trajectory as there was limited visibility around the full moon, according to NASA.

With the new observations, NASA has warned that there is around a 1% chance that the asteroid could impact the moon. That probably may well drop over time as well, but experts say that even if the ...

NASA has given a major update on the 'city-killing' asteroid which has been hurtling towards Earth – and it finally makes for pleasant reading. After months of increasing odds, the space ...

The next stop for NASA's asteroid-hopping spacecraft Lucy is a space rock named Donaldjohanson, an object researchers recently learned is about 150 million years old. Lucy will fly past the three ...
