Japan's Hayabusa2 spacecraft successfully performed a close-approach flyby of the asteroid Torifune, passing within approximately one kilometer of the celestial body to test planetary defense capabilities. The mission represents a critical step in planetary defense, as the agency evaluates the ability to detect and characterize near-Earth objects (NEOs) that could pose a threat to Earth. … Read more
Trojan asteroids are small celestial bodies that share the same orbital path as a planet, remaining trapped in stable gravitational pockets known as Lagrange points. These asteroids do not collide with the host planet because they are locked into specific locations—specifically the L4 and L5 points—where the gravitational pull of the planet and the Sun … Read more
