Penn State researchers think a key ingredient for life may have formed in deep freeze, not in a warm asteroid puddle. A space ...

Recently discovered asteroid 2023 DW has been predicted to have a close encounter with Earth on Feb. 14, 2046. See NASA's ...

Analysis of asteroid Bennu samples suggests life's building blocks formed in frozen outer Solar System, not warm asteroid ...

A pair of new studies suggest that key steps toward life’s chemistry may begin long before planets exist. Experiments simulating interstellar space show that simple amino acids can link into peptides, ...

Scientists studying material from the asteroid Bennu have uncovered new clues about how some of life’s most basic ingredients may have formed long before Earth existed. The findings suggest that amino ...

China plans to build space-based data centers as part of its space+ initiative, signaling a major shift in digital infrastructure beyond Earth.

Tiny grains of dust from asteroid Bennu are reshaping how scientists think life’s ingredients formed in space.

Amino acids, the building blocks necessary for life, were previously found in samples of 4.6-billion-year-old rocks from an asteroid called Bennu, delivered to Earth in 2023 by NASA's OSIRIS-REx ...

Scientists suggest that the amino acids found on the asteroid Bennu did not require warm, liquid water to form, as previously assumed.

Early last year, asteroid 2024 YR4 caught the public’s attention as its chances of hitting Earth in the near future climbed ...

In a new paper, an international team of researchers revisited the idea of blowing up an incoming asteroid with a nuclear ...
