A powerful new telescope spots an unusually large asteroid spinning faster than thought possible, challenging long held ideas ...

A newly spotted space rock has just shattered the speed record for large asteroids, spinning so quickly that by all expectations it should have torn itself apart. The object, named 2025 MN45, is ...

This artist’s illustration depicts 2025 MN 45 — the fastest-rotating asteroid with a diameter over 500 meters that scientists have ever found. The asteroid is shown surrounded by many other asteroids, ...

Learn how the world’s “largest digital camera” has detected approximately 2,000 new asteroids, a collection that includes some of the fastest-spinning mini-planets known to science.

A large asteroid is spinning so fast that it should break apart, according to new data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Within the huge population of asteroids observed by the observatory, ...

Scientists discovered asteroid 2025 MN45 spins fastest for its size, rotating every 1.88 minutes Asteroid 2025 MN45 is about 2,329 feet wide, roughly the length of eight football fields The asteroid ...

To demonstrate the system, the researchers showed that it could reconstruct real-time high-quality still images of a model jet engine rotating at about ∼2170 rpm (top images) and a CPU cooling fan ...
