Astronomers have finally found an asteroid keeping pace with Saturn in its orbit around the sun. Such objects, called Trojan asteroids, are already known for the other three giant planets.

A team of astronomers believe that our planet’s gravitational pull could alter the surface of Apophis, a near-Earth asteroid (NEA) set to make a close approach to Earth in five years’ time.

Around 66 million years ago, a massive asteroid stretching 6 miles (10 kilometers) across struck Earth, ending the reign of the dinosaurs. Today, the probability of an asteroid that size wiping ...

A small international team of astronomers and astrophysicists has confirmed that asteroid 2019 UO 14 is a Trojan asteroid of Saturn. The team has posted a paper describing their study of the ...
