The particles taken from Ryugu, an asteroid potentially hazardous to Earth, are said to be "pristine."

The shower, dubbed the Tau Herculid shower, will be an "all or nothing" event and if it happens, 1,000 shooting stars could fill the skies.

In a new documentary, paleontologists find that animals experienced a "wall of death" caused by a water surge after the asteroid hit, as "hell" rained down.

The asteroid will be accompanied by a space rock smaller than a Boeing 747, and be trailed on Saturday by an object larger than the Washington Monument.

The space rock, called 2021 GM4, will be travelling faster than a speeding bullet when it makes a close but safe approach to our planet.

Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Roscosmos, called preventing collisions that could "ruin the civilization" the world's top priority.

The U.S. space agency has been running an imaginary scenario in which Earth is due to be hit by a hypothetical space rock.

The pretend impact scenario sees an asteroid heading towards central Europe, and will aim to see "who the key players are in a disaster event."

The biggest of the three space rocks due to zoom past our planet could be as large as the Eiffel Tower is tall.

The asteroid, called 2021 GW4, is the largest asteroid to have passed so close to our planet this year.

The space rock will be travelling dozens of times faster than a bullet when it makes a close approach to our planet.

The asteroid, 2020 TY1, is up to 590 feet wide and will fly by at a speed of more than 29,000 miles per hour.

The seven-foot asteroid was reportedly projected to come within as little as 4,000 miles of planet Earth.
