Scientists have discovered a “record-breaking” asteroid that is nearly the size of eight football fields. The object, known ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered an asteroid that spins so fast, it should've torn itself apart.

For large Main Belt asteroids, that break-apart point was set at a spin period of about 2.2 hours – a hard limit suggested by ...

Astronomers say the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has detected an asteroid that spins faster than other space rocks of its size.

Scientists have discovered the fastest-spinning asteroid sized over 0.3 miles in diameter, which is rotating about once every ...

Astronomers analyzing data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered the fastest-ever spinning asteroid with a diameter ...

But Rubin’s early data is confounding. Among the newly discovered asteroids, researchers identified 76 with reliable spin ...

Astronomers have spotted an asteroid the size of nearly eight football fields, with the help of the largest digital camera in ...

Measuring around 41 feet in diameter, the asteroid is speeding towards our planet at more than 38,500 miles per hour.

It's an Earth sandwich! What if we placed our Earth between our Solar System's two asteroid belts: the Main Asteroid Belt and the Kuiper Belt. How long would it be before one of these belts sent their ...

Way out there in the asteroid belt is an object that's spinning so fast, scientists are surprised it hasn't flown apart.

Astronomers have identified a newly discovered asteroid, named 2025 MN45, racing through space at extraordinary speed, ...
