YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.

The latest calculations indicate that the asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is much less likely to hit Earth than earlier measurements had suggested. Late on 19 February, telescopic observations of the ...

The chances of a 130- to 300-foot-wide asteroid hitting Earth just a few days before Christmas 2032 are increasing — but don't panic (or celebrate) just yet. Why it matters: The near-Earth asteroid, ...

NASA warns of two giant asteroids hurtling towards Earth tomorrow. Will they pass safely, or is a collision imminent?

It measures 130 to 300 feet across, a pebble compared to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, which is estimated to have been six to nine miles in length. On the other hand, on Feb. 15, 2013, an ...

Scientists emphasize that this case highlights the importance of continuous asteroid tracking. Advanced monitoring helps refine predictions and ensures that potential threats are identified and ruled ...

An asteroid, estimated to be about 130 to 300 feet wide, has a chance of crashing into Earth in less than eight years. According to NASA, asteroid 2024 YR4 has a low probability of hitting Earth ...

As more observations of the asteroid are made, the uncertainty region will continue to shrink and the impact probability may continue to rise. If we reach a point at which Earth is no longer ...

That’s not even close to the size of the “planet-killer” asteroid that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago and led to the extinction of dinosaurs. That one was estimated to be about 6.2 ...

YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.

The recently discovered, much-hyped Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has almost zero chance of hitting Earth in 2032, according to the latest astronomical observations. After the probability of impact peaked ...
