Headed for a metal-rich asteroid of the same name, the Psyche spacecraft successfully calibrated its cameras by looking homeward.

The space rock came as close as within 4.15 million miles from our planet, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

NASA has confirmed asteroid 1997 QK1 will make its closest approach on 20 August. The rock measures about 990 feet wide and is travelling at 21,994 miles per hour.

The bad news is that death by asteroid impact is more likely to happen to you than death by rabies. The worse news is that ...

A near-Earth object is an asteroid or comet on an orbit that brings it within 120 million miles (about 190 million kilometers) of the sun, which means it has the potential to pass near Earth ...

Any uncertainty in the calculation of the object’s orbit causes variations in the predicted solution. Instead of one precise orbit, the calculation usually gives scientists a cloud of its possible ...
