NASA’s latest alert about a near‑Earth asteroid has revived a familiar mix of anxiety and curiosity about what would happen if a space rock really were on a collision course with our planet. The agency’s own data show that the risk of a serious impact in any given decade is small but not zero,

The space rock is hurtling through our cosmic backyard at a zippy 26,200 miles per hour, according to the space agency.

In recent weeks, a rumor claiming that Earth would “lose gravity ” for 7 seconds on August 12, 2026, has whipped up an online frenzy. Social media users warned the catastrophe would kill tens of millions of people and even claimed—perhaps even more disturbingly—that NASA knows this is coming and is deliberately staying silent.

A NASA mission is underway to map the heliosphere, which is a huge protective bubble around the solar system that was created by the sun.

Artemis 2 could launch as early as this coming weekend. If it does, the 10-day mission will have to compete with the Olympics and Super Bowl for media attention.
