Most space scientists are constantly studying asteroids due to their potential to cause global destruction. Asteroids are rocks in space that follow specific paths. NASA has identified certain ancient cosmic rocks that could potentially collide with Earth. While most of these asteroids are located in the main asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars, some of them come close to Earth, with a few approaching within a few hundred thousand kilometers. This close proximity raises concerns about the possibility of these asteroids hitting Earth. Recently, NASA has announced the presence of…

NASA monitors asteroids that come close to Earth due to potential dangers they may pose, while also recognizing the potential for solving mysteries about the universe through understanding their origins. Recently, NASA achieved a significant milestone in space exploration by successfully retrieving a portion of asteroid Bennu using the ORISIS-REX spacecraft. Now, NASA is embarking on its next mission, Psyche, which aims to study a metallic asteroid located between Mars and Jupiter. This asteroid, according to NASA, possesses a nickel-iron core that played a crucial role in the formation of…
