Astronomers have upped the odds that the cosmic boulder will crash into the moon, which could potentially cause a cloud of ...

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 ...

While it's possible that asteroid 2024 YR4 will be ruled out as an impact hazard, it is also possible that its impact probability will continue to rise, said NASA.. Here's what to know.

NASA is capable of detecting a world-destroying asteroid in about 10 years, but data has shown that Earth is largely underprepared for a catastrophic impact.

NASA says no asteroid poses a significant risk of hitting Earth within the next 100 years and the highest risk for a known asteroid is a 1 in 714 chance slated for 2185, less than 0.2%.

A 1-metre-wide asteroid would burn up harmlessly in the atmosphere. A 20-metre asteroid would explode in mid-air, implode windows over a huge radius and cause mild to moderate structural damage.

Nasa’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, or Cneos, reviewed the trajectory of the asteroid 2024 YR4 and found that its odds of striking the planet in 2032 doubled to 2.3 per cent up from ...

Dean sets the record straight on Asteroid 2024 YR4 and chats with Pranvera Hyseni, a PhD student at the University of California Santa Cruz, and the Founder and Director of Astronomy Outreach of ...

Asteroid the Size of a Football Stadium Just Whizzed Past Earth — and It's Coming Back in 2032. The massive space rock is about 890 feet in size — more than double the size of the Empire State ...

Imagine a giant asteroid strikes the Earth a few years from now, blocking out the Sun and collapsing agriculture worldwide. We see it coming, but all attempts to redirect its trajectory fail.

New study finds 'city killer' asteroid coming towards Earth may smash into the Moon At 90 metres wide, the 2024 YR4 asteroid is being closely monitored as scientists refine its trajectory.
