NASA spacecraft launched to mysterious and rare metal asteroid in first mission of its kind 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z The mission is only flying past its targets, not making extended stays—and once the probe has left an asteroid, that’s it. NASA’s Lucy Asteroid Mission Zips Past a ‘Dinky’ Space Rock 2023-11-01T04:00:00Z When Lindy Elkins-Tanton imagines the metallic asteroid Psyche, she dreams of terrain unlike any seen before. NASA launches spacecraft to a mysterious metal-rich asteroid 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z If this is indeed Psyche’s story, studying the strange asteroid would offer scientists their first peek at the heavy-metal cores lurking inaccessibly deep inside Earth and other rocky planets. NASA’s Psyche Mission Launches to Mysterious Metallic Asteroid 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z But a small fraction could escape the gravity of both the moon and the Earth and end up orbiting around the sun like other near-Earth asteroids. Researchers probe how a piece of the moon became a near-Earth asteroid 2023-10-23T04:00:00Z Led by Arizona State University on NASA’s behalf, the $1.2 billion mission will use a roundabout route to get to the asteroid. NASA spacecraft launched to mysterious and rare metal asteroid in first mission of its kind 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z Such a direct comparison is particularly valuable because scientists believe that near-Earth asteroids hail from the main belt, having been kicked deeper into the solar system by past gravitational perturbations. NASA’s Lucy Asteroid Mission Zips Past a ‘Dinky’ Space Rock 2023-11-01T04:00:00Z Gigantic cliff faces, cleaved from the asteroid’s metal crust as it cooled and contracted long ago, might be studded with green crystals of olivine. NASA launches spacecraft to a mysterious metal-rich asteroid 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z Another potential explanation for Psyche’s strangeness holds that the asteroid formed close to the sun, where high temperatures would have allowed metal to solidify and endure while rock remained molten and was somehow stripped away. NASA’s Psyche Mission Launches to Mysterious Metallic Asteroid 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z More detailed studies of Kamo`oalewa and determining this asteroid's origin in a specific impact crater on the moon will provide useful insights on impact mechanics, she said. Researchers probe how a piece of the moon became a near-Earth asteroid 2023-10-23T04:00:00Z Small amounts of carbonate minerals have also been found on asteroids, including the near-Earth asteroid Bennu and the dwarf planet Ceres. Earth is a geological oddball in our solar system. This is why. 2023-10-12T04:00:00Z When the OSIRIS-REx mission touched down in Utah with a sample from the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid, Bennu, scientists who opened the hatch gave an audible gasp when they saw what was inside. Signs of life detected in NASA’s Bennu asteroid sample that returned to Earth 2023-10-12T04:00:00Z Whether these vistas exist depends on whether the asteroid, a beguiling 220-kilometer-wide object discovered in 1852, really is the hunk of iron and nickel long assumed by astronomers. NASA launches spacecraft to a mysterious metal-rich asteroid 2023-10-13T04:00:00Z For asteroids, researchers want to understand how magnetic fields may have helped material come together in the early solar nebula and eventually build up into larger planets. Removal of magnetic spacecraft contamination within extraterrestrial samples easily carried out, researchers say 2023-10-11T04:00:00Z But the probe emerged with a bounty — so much material that its collection mechanism got clogged, allowing some asteroid dirt and pebbles to escape into space. NASA Reveals Sneak Peek of Historic Asteroid Sample 2023-10-11T04:00:00Z In the months ahead, the overall asteroid sample is to be parceled out into smaller specimens promised to some 200 scientists in 60 laboratories around the world.
