Asteroid 2022 YS5, a building-sized space rock, will safely pass Earth on July 17, prompting NASA and ISRO to emphasize the ...

An asteroid, 2025 MA90, roughly the size of a building, is set to safely fly by Earth, capturing global scientific attention.

The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has more than doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.

An asteroid that, until a few months ago, was believed to be a threat to Earth is increasingly looking like it could crash into the Moon in 2032.

"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which was recently spotted in the cosmos with a non-zero chance of hitting Earth in the coming years, may have caused some alarm.

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.

A menacing asteroid named Apophis is projected to have a close encounter with Earth in 2029, but scientists have long ruled it out as an impact risk.

Over 80 researchers from more than a dozen institutions recently worked together to study such an “artificial meteor” – NASA’s OSIRIS-REx sample return capsule – as it reentered Earth ...

Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 have again risen, though the risk remains tiny, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.

Astronomers have captured a new image of the asteroid 2024 YR4, which now has a 1-in-48 chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

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.
