It appears some pieces of asteroid Vesta ended up on asteroid Bennu, according to observations from NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.

A small satellite mission to study small “rubble pile” asteroids has received NASA approval to proceed to the next phase of development.

The asteroid, which is being studied by NASA's OSIRIS-REx, shows some surprising activity on its surface.

NASA’s first mission to explore the Trojan asteroids passed a critical milestone and is officially authorized to transition to its next phase.

An SUV-size space rock flew past Earth over the weekend – coming closer to Earth than any other known NEA.

The spacecraft is on track to touch asteroid Bennu's surface during its first sample collection attempt on Oct. 20.

OSIRIS-REx is almost ready for touchdown on Bennu. On Aug. 11, the spacecraft will perform its “Matchpoint” rehearsal.

Dawn spacecraft data answers two big questions: Is there liquid inside Ceres, and how long ago was it geologically active?

The Earth has one less asteroid to worry about thanks to the research of an international team of scientists at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico.

NASA’s first asteroid sampling spacecraft is making final preparations to grab a sample from asteroid Bennu.

Lucy will fly by seven different Trojan asteroids that are orbiting the same distance from the Sun as Jupiter.

The next full Moon will be midday on Monday, August 3, 2020.

In the fall of 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft will reach its destination: asteroid Didymos and its small moonlet Dimorphos.

A comet visiting from the most distant parts of our solar system is putting on a spectacular nighttime display.

Psyche, the NASA mission to explore a metal-rock asteroid of the same name, recently passed a crucial milestone.

The next full Moon will be early Sunday morning, July 5, 2020. There also will be a partial penumbral eclipse of the Moon.

Didymos B is getting an official name of its own: Dimorphos.

Images from OSIRIS-REx show rocks on asteroid Bennu appear to be cracking.

Asteroid 2002 NN4 will safely pass Earth on June 6 at a distance of approximately 3.2 million miles. There is no danger to Earth.

This view is a mosaic of sample site Osprey on asteroid Bennu created from images collected by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft.

The Next Full Moon is the Strawberry Moon, Mead Moon, Honey Moon, Vat Purnima, Poson Poya, and the LRO Moon.

Recently discovered object 2019 LD2, originally believed to be the first cometary “Jupiter Trojan” asteroid, turned out to be an interloper comet masquerading as a member of the Trojan population.

What can asteroids tell us about the early solar system? The James Webb Space Telescope will help unravel these mysteries.

NASA’s first asteroid sample return mission is officially prepared for its long-awaited touchdown on asteroid Bennu’s surface.

A large near-Earth asteroid will safely pass by our planet on April 29, providing astronomers with an exceptional opportunity to study the 1.5-mile-wide object in great detail.
