Learn how the world’s “largest digital camera” has detected approximately 2,000 new asteroids, a collection that includes ...

The Vera Rubin Observatory has found 19 new "superfast rotator" asteroids, including the fastest-spinning big space rock ever ...

An asteroid that tore through the atmosphere over Germany in January was spinning faster than any other near-Earth object ever recorded, new research suggests. The space rock, dubbed 2024 BX1, turned ...

The asteroid, 2025 MN45, completes a full rotation once every 1.88 minutes, meaning it must have a very high strength to keep ...

Astronomers analyzing data from Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered the fastest-ever spinning asteroid with a diameter ...

Way out there in the asteroid belt is an object that's spinning so fast, scientists are surprised it hasn't flown apart.

Astronomers peering through images from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory have discovered an unusual asteroid spinning so fast ...

Astronomers observed one of the fastest-spinning objects ever seen in the universe - and it is a neutron star. The researchers, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), made the observation in ...

Neutron stars are so named because in the simplest of models they are made of neutrons. They form when the core of a large star collapses, and the weight of gravity causes atoms to collapse. Electrons ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...
