New research on the orbits of these mysterious asteroids near Venus stress the need for better space rock surveillance.

Only one of the known Venus co-orbital asteroids follows a nearly circular orbit; the others move on more elongated paths ...

Space enthusiasts are tracking Asteroid 2025 MM. It is airplane-sized. It will safely pass by Earth this week. The asteroid ...

Astronomers are making a surprising breakthrough in the study of Venus, as new simulations suggest there may be a hidden ...

A swarm of large asteroids likely lurking around Venus could one day pose an "invisible threat" to Earth if left unchecked, ...

Of these ‘six invisible threats’, three named 2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1 ‘have a severe risk of collision’ as their orbits allow them to approach Earth within 0.05 astronomical units ...

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to find millions of unknown objects in our solar system, and perhaps even a ...

NASA is monitoring three asteroids soaring past the Earth at about 8,000 to 15,000 miles per hour, the biggest of which ...

However, the powers that be better hurry, as researchers predict that co-orbital asteroids’ orbits could become unpredictable in just more than 150 years — a blip in the interstellar timescale.

Because their orbits are unstable, a possibility exists – however remote – that the asteroids could break off from their trajectory and one day head on a collision course for Earth. The findings are ...

Their findings showed that a number of low-eccentricity asteroids—those with nearly circular orbits—could pose a real threat to Earth. Unfortunately, these are also the most difficult to detect.
