The seismic signature of a fireball meteoroid event can be used to tell whether the fireball fragmented or remained intact as ...

The meteoroid fireball, which gave off a neon-green hue as it hurtled through the atmosphere, lit up the sky upon impact and startled citizens Cairns Airport via Storyful.

Now, scientists know what caused the red planet to rumble. A meteoroid slammed into Mars 2,174 miles (3,500 kilometers) away from the lander and created a fresh impact crater on the Martian surface.

A meteoroid that skimmed across Earth's atmosphere at more than 35,000 miles per hour before flying back out into space was a rare example of a 'grazing fireball.' The 808 mile ...

If a meteoroid crashes into a planet, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Well, if NASA’s Mars InSight lander is near by, it just might pick it up. The spacecraft has detected ...

On Feb. 16 (the day after the meteoroid's impact), you went from zero to 7 billion people who knew 1,100 people got hurt," said Russell L. Schweickart, co-founder of the B612 Foundation.

The rare “earth-grazing” meteoroid was caught by Global Meteor Network (GMN) cameras in the early morning hours of September 22.

The meteoroid — “the term for incoming space rocks before they hit the ground” — exploded into at least three pieces, leaving three distinct craters, scientists say.

— -- With one of NASA's defunct satellites crashing down to Earth this weekend, forgetting our more commonplace visitors from space, meteors, might be easy. But bear in mind that roughly 100 ...

The meteoroid’s energy of motion is converted into light and heat as it slams to a stop in just a few seconds, creating a meteor, commonly called a shooting star.

A tiny meteoroid struck the newly deployed James Webb Space Telescope in May, knocking one of its gold-plated mirrors out of alignment but not changing the orbiting observatory's schedule to ...

Christmas came a little early for NASA’s InSight mission last December when the lander detected a massive quake on Mars. A space rock slammed into Mars on December 24, creating a crater and ...
