In a paper appearing in the journal Nature, an international team including University of Liège astronomers report the ...

The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million k ...

Astronomers have found a way to spot the smallest, 'decameter,' asteroids within the main asteroid belt. They used their approach to detect more than 100 new asteroids, ranging from the size of a bus ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a method to detect small asteroids in the main asteroid belt, significantly improving our ability to spot objects as little as 10 meters across. This new technique, ...

The majority of the known asteroids orbit within the main asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter at an average ...

several of which are in the habitable zone. The TRAPPIST-1 system became quickly the most observed and the best characterized exoplanetary system. In 2023, Gillon and other colleagues used the ...

Researchers were able to discover over 100 small asteroids in the main asteroid belt. These asteroids, ranging from the size ...

The asteroid that extinguished the dinosaurs is estimated to have been about 10 kilometers across. That's about as wide as ...

MIT astronomers have developed a new method to detect small decameter asteroids, as small as 10 meters in diameter, within ...

several of which are in the habitable zone. Scientists have since trained many telescopes, focused at various wavelengths, on the TRAPPIST-1 system to further characterize the planets and look for ...
