WASHINGTON, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- An international team of scientists found that a collision in the asteroid belt 470 million years ago diversified life on Earth. The study published on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances showed that the breakup of a major asteroid between Jupiter and Mars...

Apophis will safely pass Earth at a very close distance in 2029, but what if some other space rock smacked into it before then, pushing it onto a path that was far more dangerous? New research delves into ...
NASA researchers have mapped out the orbits of 90 percent of the biggest and most dangerous near-Earth asteroids, and none of them seem to be on a collision course with Earth in the foreseeable future. But there are a lot of smaller space rocks waiting to be discovered and mapped. ...
during that passage its probability of hitting Earth is thought to be near zero. The collision of a sufficiently large NEA with Earth is generally recognized to pose a great potential danger to human beings and possibly to all life on the planet. For a detailed discussion of this topic,see...

How about changing the headline to “near collision?” A “near miss” would be a collision. Sorry, pet peeve.———- I think the perversity of your peeve is your confusing the adverb ‘nearly’ with the adjective ‘near’. Does a ‘wide miss’ sound wrong to you? No, I don’t me...
According to NASA, an asteroid could be zooming toward Earth on November 2, 2020 — the day before the U.S. presidential election, naturally. Odds of collision are reportedly low.
SpaceX launched NASA's planetary defense mission, Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), on a Falcon 9 rocket from the Vandenberg Space Force Base in California on Tuesday. The mission is an attempt to understand how to deflect an asteroid off a collision course toward ...
