An asteroid discovered orbiting the sun last year had a surprise waiting for scientists to uncover: It'sactually two asteroids lockedin a binary orbit. Aoccurs when two astronomical objects are close enough that their gravitational attraction causes them...

An iceberg that drifted perilously close to a remote Greenland village last week was so big it could be seen from space. (European Space Agency) At a Glance The 11-million-ton iceberg was so massive, it could be seen from space.Last week, scientists warned that a large chunk of the iceberg could break off, causing a tsunami to hit the village.Higher tides associated with the new moon coupled with high winds pushed the iceberg away from the villagewithout incident. Amassive iceberg...

At a Glance Astronomers say they've discovered another 12 moons orbiting Jupiter.This means Jupiter has at least 79 moons, the highest number of any planet in our solar system.Each of the moons is tiny, no more than a mile or two across. Four centuries after Jupiter's first moons were spotted by Galileo, astronomers say they've found 12 more. This discovery of the small moons brings Jupiter's total to 79. No planet in our solar system has more. The find came...
