BS4 may be anywhere between 17 and 40 feet across, and will approach at about twice the distance between the Earth and moon.

A Noida boy - Daksh Malik, who is a student at Shiv Nadar School, has always been fascinated by space. He had been fond of astronomy since a very young age. From watching National Geographic documentaries about planets and the solar system to staring up at the stars,

Daksh Malik, a Class 9 student from Shiv Nadar School, Noida, has discovered an asteroid located in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, through a NASA project. He would soon have the honour of naming the asteroid.

NASA’s Lucy mission will continue its journey to explore the Jupiter Trojan asteroids, which share Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun, in 2025. One key event for Lucy is its flyby of the inner main-belt asteroid 52246 Donaldjohanson, scheduled for April 20, 2025.

A 14-year-old from Noida is making astronomical strides. Daksh Malik, a Class 9 student at Shiv Nadar School, has discovered an asteroid in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Simpson and Chen ran mathematical models looking at how differently sized Earth-like worlds would have affected the rest of our Solar System. The planet sizes tested were 1 percent of Earth's mass, exactly Earth's mass, twice Earth's mass, five times Earth's mass, and ten times Earth's mass.

For a brief, but exciting, time last year, Earth had two moons. A small asteroid lingered close to our planet in its orbit around the Sun, temporarily caught by Earth’s gravity to become a far away mini-moon. A closer look at the space rock reveals a rather familiar origin: Earth’s mini-moon might actually be a broken-off piece of our regular Moon.

For a few months, Earth had a second moon — a tiny asteroid that may have been a piece of our own Moon

Daksh Malik, a 14-year-old from Noida, discovered an asteroid via IAPD. NASA confirms, granting him the honor of naming the celestial body.

Through the International Asteroid Discovery Project, Daksh Malik successfully discovered asteroid 2023 OG40 in the main asteroid belt of the solar system.

The sun’s light exerts a tiny force called “solar radiation pressure” on objects in space. Lightweight human-made debris, like hollow rocket parts, gets pushed around more easily, like a tin can in the wind. Natural objects like asteroids are much denser and less affected.

A Noida teenager, Daksh Malik, has made headlines after discovering an asteroid through the International Asteroid Discovery Project, earning the chance to name it. His journey into astronomy began with a school email,
