A huge asteroid, 2025 MA90 is hurtling through space at around 20,000mph and is set to pass by Earth later today, reaching as ...

Scientists are looking to the skies today as a huge asteroid is set to skim past Earth at more than 20,000mph as NASA track ...

A dinosaur fossil has been found in an unlikely way in an unlikely place, a hole drilled under the parking lot of a Colorado ...

In the study, "Night lizards survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction near the asteroid impact," published in Biology Letters, researchers combined phylogenetic tip-dating with ...

The end of the Cretaceous was marked by a giant asteroid strike in the vicinity of Yucatán peninsula in Mexico, which left a crater over 150 kilometres wide and caused the extinction of most of ...

Researchers found that night lizards survived the dinosaur-killing asteroid strike at the end of the Cretaceous, despite living near the impact site in Mexico.

A potentially hazardous asteroid roughly the size of an aircraft carrier is due to pass within 2.8 million miles (3.5 million km) of Earth on June 5 and you can watch it happen live online.

NASA tracks stadium-size asteroid passing near Earth: Here's how to watch it live The asteroid, dubbed 2002 JX8, makes close approaches to both Earth and Venus relatively often.

Watch a stadium-size asteroid pass Earth today — and learn why this one isn’t 2024 YR4, the asteroid that had scientists and the public on edge.

NASA's Lucy will venture as close as 596 miles to this asteroid, an estimated 2 ½ miles in length but much shorter in width. Scientists should have a better idea of its size and shape following ...

Then came the asteroid. It triggered wildfires, climate chaos, and the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event that wiped out around 75% of all species, including the non-avian dinosaurs.

The idea that dinosaurs were already in decline before an asteroid wiped most of them out 66 million years ago may be explained by a worsening fossil record from that time rather than a genuine ...
