Fact check: Flat Earth claim based on gas pressure fails to account for gravity's impact. Researchers have confirmed the sun and moon's actual sizes and positions in space through various ...

Earth is bidding farewell to a tiny asteroid that joined its orbit for nearly two months. The asteroid, known as 2024 PT5, is set to be drawn away from Earth by the powerful pull of the sun on Monday.

Let's say we want to build a model of the sun and Earth alone. Earth has a radius of about 6,371 kilometers (3,959 miles), but let's represent this with a marble 1 centimeter in diameter.

An asteroid has been trailing Earth around the sun since 100 BC, astronomers estimate. The space rock at first appears to be another moon , but it's actually orbiting the sun and not Earth.

An newly discovered asteroid will be captured by Earth's gravity this fall. The "mini-moon" will spend about two months in Earth's orbit, before being flung back on its normal path around the sun.

An asteroid called 2020 CD3 was bound to Earth for several years before leaving the planet's orbit in 2020 and another called 2022 NX1 became a mini-moon of Earth in 1981 and 2022 and will return ...

October 2000 Believe it or not, it actually is just a coincidence — and a happy one at that. The Moon and Sun have virtually the same angular size in our sky because the Sun is about 400 times ...
