NASA recently tracked asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially showed a 3 per cent chance of hitting Earth in 2032. New data shows it's no longer a threat, but the incident highlights the need for strong ...

NASA and international scientists closely tracked asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially showed a rare 3 percent collision probability with Earth. Although the threat has now diminished, the incident ...

What are some of the largest extraterrestrial impacts to effect Earth? Learn what we’ve seen in history, and what is ...

For months, astronomers were concerned that a newly discovered asteroid, 2024 YR4, could collide with Earth in 2032. But thanks to new data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we now know ...

Apophis, like the recently identified asteroid known as 2024 YR4, was once thought to be on a crash course with our planet. After its likelihood of hitting us was lowered to zero, and some ...

YR4, once flagged as a potential Earth threat, is now being tracked for a possible Moon impact in 2032, with a 3.8% chance of collision.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 earlier showed a 3% threat to hit Earth New observations reduce the impact of collision to below 1% NASA and global scientists emphasise the importance of open data ...

A team of astronomers used the Gemini South Observatory in Chile to observe asteroid 2024 YR4 in multiple wavelengths as it zoomed away from Earth in February, barely 1½ months after its discovery.

But the chance of an impact is still quite slim. New calculations suggest there's a 2% chance the space rock 2024 YR4 will smack Earth in 2032. This also means there's a 98% chance it will safely pass ...
