Around one to two billion years ago, this mega-asteroid broke apart in the Asteroid Belt, producing a chunk of rock that us ape-like inhabitants on the Solar System’s third planet would one day ...

Using simulations of their motion, we find that most of these bodies come from the inner edge of the asteroid belt, Taylor says. A 3D computer model of Asteroid 1998 KY26 How many are known?

The asteroid, like many others, is a result of the asteroid belt ejecting a rock that makes its way to the Earth's gravitational pull. However, it is still classified as a Near Earth Object (NEO).

The lander is part of the larger mission to the asteroid belt The lander, designed to study the asteroid Justitia, will be part of the larger EMA initiative, which spans a 13-year mission to ...

She mapped our solar system's "alternate fate" had it housed an extra planet between Mars and Jupiter instead of the existing asteroid belt. They developed a 3D model that simulates how the solar ...
