Labeled as ‘mini-moon’, the discovery of the small asteroid has triggered lot of excitement, among the community of amateur and professional astronomers, not only in India but across the globe

Earth is set to welcome a "mini moon" at the end of September, giving the planet two moons. But the tiny asteroid will only temporarily orbit Earth until right before the holiday season when it is due to leave.

In a surprising twist on our planet’s ancient history, scientists are now suggesting that Earth might once have had a ring system, similar to the rings we see around Saturn today. A new study presents compelling evidence that this ring formed around 466 million years ago,

Earth and Saturn might be a lot more similar than previously thought. In a new study, a team of researchers suggests that 466 million years ago, a ring system made up of asteroid remnants may have surrounded our planet,

And now, a new study published in the scientific journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters seems to show that Earth itself once had a similar ring. The new study asserts that Earth's ring formed around 466 million years ago and stuck around for around 40 million years before dissipating.
