May 28 (UPI) --China Wednesday launched its Tianwen-2 space mission to collect asteroid samples and conduct a main-belt comet study. A LongMarch 3B rocket lifted off from Xichang Satellite Launch ...

researchers hope to determine whether it was once part of the Moon — and was chipped away during a collision event — or has escaped from the asteroid belt that circles between Mars and Jupiter.

June 2, 2025 — Tracing the origin of an ultra-hot exoplanet: The chemical composition of WASP-121b suggests that it formed in a cool zone of its natal disc, comparable to the region of gas and ...

Ivan Miranda and Jón Schone, both well-known in the DIY 3D printing community, have transformed a discarded treadmill into a massive belt-driven 3D printer. Their project pushes the boundaries of ...

The trouble is, researchers had to estimate the masses for most of the objects within a key group: the 343 largest bodies in the asteroid belt. “It’s amazing to me that other asteroids have ...

“Space is incredibly, profoundly empty,” Fuls said. “We don’t even check when we send probes through the asteroid belt.” Movies depict the belt as crowded and rock-filled, when in fact ...

While this distance is no cause for concern, 1998 OR2 will continue on its 3.7-year orbit around the sun, venturing into the asteroid belt beyond Mars and circling back inside Earth’s orbit with ...

This summer, a mission originally named in Zheng He’s honor but now known as Tianwen-2 will propel China deeper into space than ever before — its first foray into the asteroid belt.

The data gathered by Tianwen-2 could enhance a wide range of studies of objects within the inner solar system, which includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and the asteroid belt, Kareta said.
