The asteroid was found by a group called ATLAS, which stands for Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, in August.
New evidence suggests that billions of years ago, a star may have passed very close to our solar system. As a result, ...
New simulations suggest that there are enough primordial black holes—potential dark matter candidates—in the universe for one ...
Watching for changes in the Red Planet’s orbit over time could be a new way to detect passing dark matter. MIT physicists ...
Our solar system might still bear the scars from an extremely close shave with an alien star. Such an encounter – the closest pass we know of – would have shaken up objects on the outskirts and might ...
They found that if a primordial black hole came within a few hundred million miles of Mars, it could cause a slight “wobble” ...
A new study suggests that the Sun may have had a close encounter with another star, explaining the unusual orbits of objects ...
To detect these black holes and prove this theory right, the researchers modeled the orbits of every large body in the solar system, and found that tiny wobbles in the orbit of Mars could indicate ...
