NASA has announced that an asteroid about 200 feet in diameter is now slightly more likely to crash into the moon.

That asteroid was probably about six miles across; Bennu is less than a third of a mile wide, on average. Even so, a collision with Bennu would be regionally devastating. An impact would pack the ...

The asteroid initially had an approximate 3% chance for impact with Earth, but that recently dropped to less than 0.0017% in new calculations by NASA making it negligible. “It’s really easy to ...

That began to change in late February as more precise observations allowed scientists to effectively winnow down the asteroid's odds of impact to a number so low, it might as well be zero.

However, later on Thursday afternoon, the impact probability increased to 2.3%, stated NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies. The asteroid was discovered in December 2024 and its ...
