Black holes not only consume matter but also expel powerful jets, reshaping our understanding of their role in the universe.

A small asteroid recently went unnoticed before impacting Earth harmlessly, underscoring the ongoing need for planetary defense against larger threats.

Humans are likely not the only life forms in the universe, according to leading space scientist Dame Maggie Aderin-Pocock.

Astronomers utilize orbital laws to predict asteroid trajectories, enhancing detection with modern technology.

The risk of asteroid 2024 YR striking Earth is currently elevated but new data may reduce this threat to virtually zero.

A temporary mini-moon, asteroid 2024 PT5, will orbit Earth in a horseshoe path from Sept. 29 to Nov. 25, 2023.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 poses a 2.3% risk of collision with Earth on December 22, 2032, emphasizing urgent need for action.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a slim chance of hitting the Moon, possibly creating a large visible crater.

Chorus waves can be generated much farther from Earth than previously thought, challenging decades of assumptions about their origin.

Cosmic rays bombard Earth from cosmic sources, comprising primarily protons and electrons, and provide insights to ongoing scientific debates.

Very high-energy electrons cannot travel far in space, suggesting local creation.

Planetary defense against asteroids is a serious and pressing issue, requiring global collaboration to prevent potential catastrophic impacts.

Asteroid 2024 ON, despite being labeled potentially hazardous, passed Earth safely and highlighted misconceptions about near-Earth object risks.
