Oct 24, 2024 · The asteroid Bennu (shown) was carefully tracked as part of NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission, allowing scientists to check its orbit for signs of a hypothesized fifth force.
Oct 11, 2024 · Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has taught us a lot about the nature of asteroids and the history of our planet, and it's not done yet. A new study of Bennu tracking data gives us fresh clues on a potential fifth fundamental force in the Universe.
Aug 16, 2024 · The Chicxulub event – the giant impact that ended the reign of non-avian dinosaurs, clearing the way for mammalian life to rise – was triggered by an asteroid from a region of the Solar System out past the orbit of Jupiter, the cold, dark outer limits, far from the Sun's light and warmth.
May 26, 2020 · Today, this 200km-wide structure is positioned under Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, with its best preserved central portions sitting just offshore of the port of Chicxulub. It's hard to grasp...
Oct 7, 2024 · The team applied that ground-based tracking data collected before and during the OSIRIS-REx mission to a probe of extensions of the Standard Model of physics, which describes three of the four ...
Oct 14, 2024 · The resulting force was similar to the inverse-square forces of gravity and electromagnetism but had an exponential decay aspect, so it only affected nucleons.

Oct 11, 2022 · Analysis of data obtained over the past two weeks by NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) investigation team shows the spacecraft’s kinetic impact with its target asteroid, Dimorphos, successfully altered the asteroid’s orbit. This marks humanity’s first time purposely changing the motion of a celestial object and the first ...
