Three dozen scientists from all over the world have been in Galesburg this summer tracking near-earth asteroids and charting ...

As of February 2025, there is a very small chance that this asteroid will hit the Earth on Dec. 22, 2032, according to NASA. However, as more observations are collected the probability of impact ...

The asteroid 2024 YR4 is now rated at Level 0 out of 10 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale, meaning, "The likelihood of a collision is zero, or is so low as to be effectively zero." A similar ...

On Feb. 18, 2025, NASA updated the probability of asteroid "2024 YR4" impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032, from 2.6% to 3.1%. The European Space Agency (ESA) also updated its estimate of the ...

Scientists improve knowledge by 20% thanks to James Webb Space Telescope data The chance of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Moon has increased, according to boffins making observations from the ...

A "city-killer" asteroid, initially thought to have a 3% chance of striking Earth on December 22, 2032, is now more likely to hit the Moon. The space rock, known as 2024 YR4, was detected last ...

The football field-sized asteroid’s odds of striking the moon on Dec. 22, 2032, jumped from 1.7% in late February to 3.8% based on data collected using the James Webb Space Telescope.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a roughly 2 percent chance of hitting Earth in 2032, and “is large enough to cause localized damage,” NASA says.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.8% to 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.

Earth is about to gain a new “mini-moon,” but it won’t stay around for long. The newly discovered asteroid, named 2024 PT5, will temporarily be captured by Earth’s gravity and orbit our ...
