A recently observed object called 2025 PN7 was found orbiting near the Earth. The quasi-moon is expected to accompany our ...

At its nearest, 2025 PN7 comes 186,000 miles (299,337 kilometres) from Earth. Its average distance is about 238,855 miles ...

For more than sixty years, a tiny asteroid has been moving in step with Earth, hidden from view until recently. Astronomers ...

This hasn't always been the case. If we take the current rate of recession and project it backwards, the Moon collides with ...

2025-PN7 is around 62 feet (19 meters) wide, and it’s between 2.8 million miles and 37.2 million miles away from Earth. It ...

Everyone who has ever lived on Earth has been well-aware of the moon, but it turns out Earth also has some frequent temporary ...

Tides come from a difference in gravity across an object. The force of gravity exerted by the Moon is about 4% stronger on the side of Earth that faces toward the Moon, compared to the opposite side ...

Whenever astronomers detect something new moving through our region of space, like an interstellar object or an unusual asteroid, somebody somewhere claims it could be an alien interstellar space ...

Earth's orbit is about to have a visitor, according to reports published by the Institute of Physics. The asteroid 2024 PT5 was discovered in August, along with its calculated trajectory to become the ...

So the bottom line is that the gravity of the closer tidal bulge on the Earth is pulling the Moon forward, which increases the size of the Moon’s orbit. This means that the Moon gets slightly farther ...

The moon looks bigger in the night sky because it is in perigee, or the point where the moon reaches its closest point to ...

On Aug. 23, 1966, NASA's Lunar Orbiter 1 sent back the first photo of Earth from the moon. It showed a grainy crescent Earth ...
