NASA sent the DART mission to hit an asteroid to try and change its orbit.

Asteroid 2024 DW is the size of around six adult Indian peacocks and will fly within the Moon's orbit of the Earth on February 22, according to NASA.

Asteroid era? Don't worry, the asteroid measured in terms of the "Shake it Off" sensation won't hit the Earth. It's not like "Everything Has Changed."

Calculations by NASA predict that the asteroid won't come anywhere close to Earth during its flyby.

Asteroid 2024 BX1 impacted above Germany, disintegrating into a harmless fireball near Berlin. This marks the eighth time an asteroid was predicted right before an impact like this.

A massive asteroid, approximately 1 kilometer in diameter, approached within 5.5 million kilometers of Earth.

After three years, a capsule returned to Earth with material collected from an asteroid, but the majority of the samples remain inaccessible due to a problem with two screws.

Asteroid 349507 (2008 QY) is around 1.2 kilometers in diameter, or around 1,000 capybaras – large enough that an impact event (which won't happen now) could be a worldwide catastrophe.

Asteroid 16 Psyche is bigger than the island of Cyprus and is thought to be so full of iron and nickel that it could be worth $10,000 quadrillion, worth more than all the money in the world.

Excavations in Jordan offer compelling evidence for the authenticity of the biblical tale of the destruction of Sodom, but by an asteroid impact, says theologian Dr. John Bergsma.
