A 140-foot asteroid is set to sweep past Earth today, and it seems everyone is taking notice. Astronomers have been tracking the space rock, officiall.

NASA has selected UC San Diego's Scripps Institution of Oceanography to lead the Earth Dynamics Geodetic Explorer (EDGE) satellite mission, which will monitor land, vegetation, ice sheets and coastal regions to help scientists better understand climate change and natural disasters.

NASA's head of planetary defence, Dr Kelly Fast, has issued an unsettling update on thousands of ‘city-killer’ asteroids that could hit Earth.

A 170-foot asteroid is set to race past Earth today at extraordinary speed, NASA says. Though no impact is expected, scientists are watching closely. What makes this flyby worth attention?

NASA has selected two Earth science missions for development, one focused on studying the atmosphere and the other on terrestrial ecosystems and ice.

The discovery is just the latest to come from the asteroid sample, which dates back to the dawn of the solar system.

Two new satellite missions will help NASA scientists better understand Earth and improve the ability to foresee environmental events and mitigate disasters. And the agency says they’ll be led out of Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,

On Jan. 31, 1958, Explorer 1 became the first satellite launched by the United States. Its primary science instrument, a cosmic ray detector, was designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth orbit.

NASA Earth to Sky Team Adirondacks has invited the public to a celebration of science featuring climate research, astronomy and satellite discoveries about the Adirondack Park on Thursday, March 5 in Tupper Lake.

At NASA, experts think that orbital, AI-enhanced sensors can be more effective than traditional analysis methods, such as collecting the waste with a net for examination. "Detecting marine debris is the kind of incredible challenge that NASA can help solve," Bisson said in the release.
