step forward in the understanding of processes of collision at such scales. It plays an essential part in estimating the energy of the impact which should be necessary, depending on its size, to ...

Could a collision with another object in space set massive asteroid Apophis on a collision course with our planet? This question has been on many minds over the past two decades, but new research ...

A new climate modeling study published in the journal Science Advances by researchers from the IBS Center for Climate Physics ...

The asteroid that NASA flung a spacecraft into was deformed by the collision, but it appears to have reshaped itself and healed. The asteroid, named Dimorphos, was slammed into by NASA's Double ...

Asteroid impacts with global consequences are vastly rarer, especially compared to the frequency with which they appear in the movies. But popular portrayals do carry a grain of truth: in case of an ...

Climatic and ecological responses to dust injections of 400 million tons from a Bennu-type asteroid impact. Spatial changes of surface temperature (upper left), total precipitation (upper right), ...
