Joe Velaidum and his partner, Laura Kelly, set out to walk their dog when their doorbell camera captured a meteorite striking their front walkway — where Velaidum had been standing moments before.

A sharp crash that sounds like glass shattering or ice cracking has been documented as likely the world's first audio recording of a meteorite crash. It came by chance from a doorbell camera, recorded last July near the front steps of a home in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island.

The meteorite was a run-of-the-mill stony chondrite that traveled to Earth from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and it would have been traveling at least 125 mph (200 km/h) right before it struck, he said. Space rocks are constantly hitting ...

In a remarkable event captured on home security footage, a meteorite crashed onto the driveway of a Canadian couple's home, marking the first time both the visual and audio of such an impact have been recorded.

In October 2020, a van-sized robotic spacecraft briefly touched down on the surface of Bennu, a 525-metre-wide asteroid 320 million kilometres from Earth.

Scientists found that asteroid Bennu contained a set of salty mineral deposits that formed in an exact sequence when a brine evaporated, leaving clues about the type of water that flowed billions of years ago.

Material retrieved from the asteroid Bennu by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft shows that all the basic building blocks of life were astonishingly widespread in the early solar system

An asteroid that orbited near Earth for a few months as a mini-moon may be a chunk of the moon that was blasted off by an impact thousands of years ago.

The best viewing for January's planetary parade is about 90 minutes after sunset, in as dark and clear a spot as you can find. Use binoculars or a telescope for an even better look. The alignment will be visible into February.
