(89959) 2002 NT 7 (provisional designation 2002 NT 7) is a near-Earth object with a diameter of 1.4 kilometers and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group. [2] [3] It has a well determined orbit with an observation arc of 64 years including precovery images by Palomar Observatory dating back to 1954.
In 2016, astronomers spotted an asteroid about the size of a ferris wheel in an Earth-like orbit around the Sun. Turns out it's actually a chunk of the moon.
Asteroid is a two-player game designed by Marc Miller and Frank Chadwick in which a mad scientist has programmed a computer-controlled asteroid to crash into the Earth, resulting in an extinction level event, and only one spaceship is able to intercept the asteroid and try to save the world.
1998 KY 26 is a nearly spherical sub-kilometer asteroid, classified as a near-Earth object of the Apollo group.It measures approximately 30 meters (100 feet) in diameter and is a fast rotator, having a rotational period of only 10.7 minutes.
6 Hebe (/ ˈ h iː b iː /) is a large main-belt asteroid, containing around 0.5% of the mass of the belt.However, due to its apparently high bulk density (greater than that of the Moon), Hebe does not rank among the top twenty asteroids by volume.
An asteroid streaked past northern Siberia in the middle of the night Tuesday before burning up in Earth's atmosphere, lighting up the skies with a blinding flash, dramatic video shows.
The game-play mechanic is based loosely on that of the arcade game Missile Command, but with comets falling on cities, rather than missiles.Like Missile Command, players attempt to protect their cities, but rather than using a trackball-controlled targeting cross-hair, players solve math problems that label each comet, which causes a laser to destroy it.
