At some point in the future, Earth is going to end up in the crosshairs of an asteroid that's big enough to be a threat. Whether it's a 'planet-killer' or a 'city-killer', we need to know about these asteroids, and ...
Howevertheir latest prediction is that Earth will be safe fromApophis for the next 100 years.The scientists used radar(雷达)to predictthe asteroid's orbit(轨道) around the sun. NASAscientist Marina Brozovic said, “We were able to getprecise(精确的)information about its distanceto an accuracy ...

which never posed any danger of harming Earth and broke up into a stream of small debris out in space. Then there were Internet assertions surrounding the end of the Mayan calendar on December 21, 2012, insisting the world would end with a large asteroid impact. And just this year, astero...
a Cape Town astronomy expert who describes the predictions as "myths and rubbish".A number of theories were being bandied around about the world ending, and all of them could be summarily dismissed as they were easily disproved by scientific means, he said.One is that an asteroid named Nibir...
Luckily, the NASA-funded Pan-STARRS 2 survey telescope on Maui had imaged the part of the sky where the small asteroid could have been visible a couple of hours before the ATLAS observations. Using the potential orbit Farnocchia had calculated, Pan-STARRS scientists Robert Weryk and Mark Hube...

But besides better accuracy, the Bayesian technique offered something equally as critical: it could tell the scientists how certain it was about its prediction. "In places where the data weren't good enough to give a really accurate result, this model was better at knowing that it wasn't sur...
A.My prediction is that the Russians will stay until we de-orbit the station. I think ...
NASA returned its first sample of an asteroid to Earth last year, but getting at the full sample proved difficult due to a couple of troublesome fasteners.
