(5) Asteroid analysis

He discovered three asteroids.

(c) Measure the mass of the asteroid, the ratio of the moments of inertia and the low order harmonics of the gravity field of the asteroid

Named after the asteroid Pallas

Named after the planetoid Ceres

I could take out this asteroid single handedly.

Satellites were searched for but none were detected.

He discovered the asteroid 89 Julia in 1866.

(g) Determine the asteroid large scale mineralogical composition.

The asteroid's orbit must not cross Earth's orbit.

Originally, it was given the asteroid designation 1939 CB.

So we're going swimming on this asteroid.

Hurry up, Lev, because we're about a mile off the asteroid!

We need you to prep the team we're sending up. Up?

He's bouncing up there because there's less gravity up there than on Earth. This will be similar to the asteroid, so watch it.

You got less than a minute. Don't think I won't blow this thing.

We understand that static from the asteroid is interfering.

(a) A camera for high resolution imaging of the asteroid to obtain a full three dimensional model of the asteroid before and after the Hidalgo impact

The science spacecraft, called Sancho, would arrive at the asteroid first and, after a rendezvous manoeuvre, would observe and measure the target asteroid over a period of several months.

Scientists have proposed various ways to deflect an asteroid away from the Earth.

These types are thought to correspond to an asteroid's surface composition.

I grew up. With the proximity of the asteroid and no prep time, none of our primary plans can work.

This is an image of an asteroid that passed us in 2009.

The family gets its name from the asteroid 170 Maria.

The asteroid always orbits the Sun in the same direction.

It is planned to have a network of at least four penetrators on the surface of an asteroid.

And these guys orbited a 30 or no, about a 22 mile long asteroid called Eros.

That unusual sound you hear is being given off by the approaching asteroid.

NASA reported the an asteroid of the Big Ben size is approaching the Earth

The water presumably came from comets or perhaps also asteroids that impacted with Mercury.

The Chicxulub crater in Mexico may have been created by the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs.

Close up images of the asteroid, with a resolution of up to per pixel, were later published online.

Size as well as shape affects the amount of the effect.

Chiron also does not exist (however, the name was used much later for the comet asteroid 2060 Chiron).

Rosetta was launched on 2 March 2004 and will reach the comet in 2014 after two asteroid fly bys, of Steins in 2008 and Lutetia in 2010.

Some blocks may have been ejected from the young crater Azzurra on the opposite side of the asteroid.

(d) Model the asteroid shape before and after the impact, to detect changes

The rotation rate of the asteroid might be changed by some 0.5 degrees per day.

Coming around behind the asteroid, where we're hoping that the tail debris will be cleared by the moon's gravity. And you'll land right here.

The Earth was struck by an asteroid, a huge amount of debris was jettisoned into the atmosphere.

Deflecting an asteroid from its orbit when it is still hundreds of millions of miles from Earth is a feasible undertaking.

Dust collected from the asteroid surface was believed to have been exposed there for about eight million years.

The temperature of the asteroid belt varies with the distance from the Sun.

Radar observations show the asteroid is elongated and is about 30 meters in diameter.
