Scientists just proved that hardy bacteria can survive the crushing forces of asteroid impacts, bringing us closer to understanding whether life on Earth came from space. The findings could reshape how we think about life's origins and where to search for it in the universe.
For the first time in human history, we've measurably changed how a space rock orbits the Sun. NASA's 2022 asteroid impact proved we can defend Earth from cosmic threats.
A Silicon Valley nonprofit is working to protect our planet from dangerous asteroid impacts through research, education, and global cooperation. Since 2002, the B612 Foundation has been advancing asteroid detection and deflection strategies while teaching the world about these cosmic threats.
Rare lunar samples from China's Chang'e-6 mission just solved a 4-billion-year mystery about how a massive asteroid collision changed the Moon from the inside out. The discovery explains why one side of the Moon looks so different from the other.
Life bounced back faster than anyone thought possible after the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. Scientists discovered new species of ocean plankton appeared in just 2,000 years, rewriting what we know about evolution's speed.
