NASA on Feb. 24 said, "There is no significant potential for this asteroid to impact our planet for the next century." The asteroid 2024 YR4 is now rated at Level 0 out of 10 on the Torino Impact ...

“A large asteroid impact is potentially the only natural disaster humanity has the technology to predict years in advance and take action to prevent,” NASA planetary defense officer emeritus ...

ESA-Science Office It seems that Earth isn’t likely to be struck by an incoming asteroid after all, as scientists have revised the impact likelihood of object 2024 YR4. The asteroid which has a ...

A newly discovered near-Earth asteroid called 2024 YR4 is one possibly perilous object: It’s a 130 to 300-foot long rock that could impact somewhere on Earth on December 22, 2032. To be clear ...

Asteroid bigwigs expect that the impact probability of the asteroid 2024 YR4 is set to increase. However, once understanding around the asteroid's orbit increases, the chance of an impact is set ...

An asteroid that measures up to 300 feet across could smack into Earth in 2032, and while NASA says the chances of a collision are “extremely low,” the probability has been increasing since ...

ESA-Science Office Astronomers have made a startling discovery: a medium-sized asteroid that could potentially impact the Earth within the next 10 years. However, experts agree that the public ...

And as they learn more about asteroid 2024 YR4's trajectory, the odds of impact are expected to slightly rise before before it's expected – and hoped – they fall to zero, astronomers at the ...

The narrow difference is due to the two agencies’ use of different tools for determining the asteroid’s orbit and modeling its potential impact. But both percentages rise above the 2.7% chance ...

Astronomers around the world have trained their telescopes toward an asteroid they believe has a minimal, but not insignificant, chance of hitting Earth in just under 8 years. Though space ...

The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS, telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, first discovered 2024 YR4 on December 27. The telescope is one of the asteroid discovery programs ...
