A small asteroid burned up in Earth's atmosphere off the coast of California just hours after being discovered and before ...

Caption Image shows a visualisation of the huge, glowing planetary body produced by a planetary collision. In the foreground, fragments of ice and rock fly away from the collision and will later ...

This video simulates what astronomers, studying Hubble Space Telescope observations, consider evidence for the first-ever detection of the aftermath of a titanic planetary collision in another ...

While the Lanterns did save some of the population, Mogo’s collision with Thanagar obliterates the planet and kills billions in the process, and those ripple effects will be felt across the galaxy.

The researchers created the numerical simulations using smoothed particle hydrodynamics software, considered the basis for a wide range of planetary collision studies, to model different scenarios ...

The hypothetical experiment is known as the fifth biennial Planetary Defense Interagency Tabletop Exercise. According to NASA, the experiment was organised by the Planetary Defense Coordination ...

It’s thought that the shape of Sputnik Planitia and its location at the equator is down to an oblique, rather than a head-on, collision with another planetary body. “The formation of Sputnik ...

Although the Moon is the closest neighbour to our planet, scientists have still not been able to determine its origin. Since ...

In the final phase of terrestrial planet formation, planetary embryos and planetesimals ... we use our recently developed GPU N-body code GANBISS. GANBISS treats all collision as perfect merging and ...

Something catastrophic like an interplanetary collision, perhaps. This catastrophic clashing theory has been in the works for a while now, and planetary scientists think that Mercury might have ...
