asteroid

With tensions rising across the globe, where should people living in Western New York find refuge?

The last time this comet was nearby, was about 50,000 years ago.

An asteroid the size of three football fields whizzed past the Earth on Monday night.  It was about two millions miles from Earth so there was no danger.  The footage, nonetheless, was impressive.

Don't panic, but there will be another relatively large asteroid barreling past our planet tonight (July 29, 2013).

A giant asteroid the size of a football field is scheduled to pass through Earth’s atmosphere over the weekend. Scientists say that the 330-foot-wide fiery rock will miss striking the Earth’s surface by nearly 600,000 miles - about three times the distance between our planet and the moon.

After witnessing some of the damage that a dinner table-sized meteor did last week after crashing into central Russia, imagine the magnitude of destruction that would have occurred if that flaming rock was the length of 18 football fields. Now stop imagining, because scientists say it happened.

With more reports of things flying and dropping from the sky, should we be afraid of meteors and asteroids?  One astronomer says we should, at the very least, be concerned.

It is said to have lasted only as long as three seconds but many in the Miami-Dade and Broward areas witnessed a "ball of light" in the sky over the weekend.

Two agencies are reporting that they have received calls about a bright streak of light that appeared over the San Francisco Bay area.

A close flying asteroid traveling within 17,000 miles of Earth is on its way out. The massive rock was the length of half a football field and in the same area as some of the world's orbiting TV and weather satellites. Gay Yee Hill, from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, described the moment the asteroid scooted by...
