An asteroid measuring over 160 feet across will impact Earth only about every 1,000 years.

A massive solar eruption has launched a fast coronal mass ejection towards Earth, arriving Monday, June 8, 2026. Nasa has issued a G3 geomagnetic storm watch, with auroras possible across northern India,

NASA-supported scientists have provided new information about how the early Earth may have acquired some elements necessary for the planet to become habitable. They also suggest a new role for Jupiter in the distribution of these elements throughout the young solar system.

Every day, a NASA program quietly recalculates the orbits of thousands of space rocks and flags each one that will pass within roughly 4.6 million miles of Earth. That distance, about 19.5 times the gap between Earth and the Moon,

The findings suggest Jupiter's formation shaped the chemistry that helped make habitable worlds possible.

The meteor that produced a boom over New England over the weekend entered Earth’s atmosphere at roughly 42,000 mph, a NASA spokesperson said. It then traveled through the atmosphere from northwest to southeast for 26 miles before breaking
