After making this discovery, NASA was able to go back through previously recorded data and found three other confirmed meteoroid crashes — on May 27, 2020, Feb. 18, 2021 and Aug. 31, 2021.

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 ...

For a brief few weeks in early 2025, astronomers were worried about the asteroid 2024 YR4. Discovered in late 2024 by an ...

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.

The four confirmed meteoroid impacts produced small quakes (no more than a magnitude of 2.0). Those smaller quakes provide scientists with a glimpse into the Martian crust.

During the meteoroid stream, the spacecraft saw scattered sunlight, which is consistent with dust grains less than 60 nanometers wide. Less such light was detected during the quieter period.

They found that 29 water releases between October 2013 and April 2014 coincided with when the moon was passing through known meteoroid streams. They published their findings today in the journal ...

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.

This meteoroid was the size of a small boulder, and was travelling very fast. NASA estimates the size at 0.3 to 0.4 meters wide, and the speed at 56,000 miles per hour.
