In Depth | Asteroids ? NASA Solar System Exploration
5 Jan 2026 at 9:16am
Stray asteroids and asteroid fragments have slammed into Earth and the other planets in the past, playing a major role in altering the geological history of the planets and in the evolution of life on Earth.
Asteroids, Comets & Meteors - NASA Solar System Exploration
3 Jan 2026 at 5:40pm
Our solar system?s small bodies ? asteroids, comets, and meteors ? pack big surprises. These chunks of rock, ice, and metal are leftovers from the formation of our solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity ? the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

Mars By the Numbers - NASA Solar System Exploration
4 Jan 2026 at 2:32pm
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, and the seventh largest. It?s the only planet we know of inhabited entirely by robots.

Researchers have found that some near-Earth asteroids are actually burned-out comets, and most of them would have started out in the Kuiper Belt. Many comets crash into the Sun or the planets.

Scientists predicted the existence of rubble pile asteroids that barely hold together in space. They are thought to be old fragments of asteroids that gently collided with each other to make a larger asteroid (process is called accretion).
Pluto By the Numbers - NASA Solar System Exploration
6 Jan 2026 at 3:53am
Pluto was once our solar system's ninth planet, but has been reclassified as a dwarf planet. It's located in the Kuiper Belt.
In Depth | Phobos ? NASA Solar System Exploration
5 Jan 2026 at 1:20pm
Phobos and Deimos appear to be composed of C-type rock, similar to blackish carbonaceous chondrite asteroids. Observations by Mars Global Surveyor indicate that the surface of this small body has been pounded into powder by eons of meteoroid impacts, some of which started landslides that left dark trails marking the steep slopes of giant craters.
