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

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 ...

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 ...

As it spins around Earth, the moon is about to reach its closest point to the blue planet.

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 region where the gravitational influence of Earth is the dominant force, is called the Hill Sphere. This extends up to ...

Earth asteroid lurked undetected for decades until a telescope in Hawaii spotted it earlier this year. It may be Earth's ...

The space rock will make its closest approach—at a cosmically slight 183,000 miles from our planet—later today, according to ...

"It is incredible that modern telescopic surveys have the ability to detect such small objects up to millions of kilometers away." Half a dozen fragments of the moon may briefly orbit Earth at any ...
