Analysis of samples brought back to Earth from the asteroid Bennu reveal that it has a bizarre chemical make-up and is ...

In an update issued on February 7, NASA said the probability of 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth had gone from around 1.2 percent (one-in-83) to 2.3 percent (one-in-43).

But real lightning would have struck infrequently—and mostly in open ocean, where organic compounds would have quickly ...

YR4, which orbits the sun every four years and periodically crosses Earth's orbit. The nature of its orbit makes it a ...

A Bennu-type asteroid could lead to “severe environmental consequences,” researchers write, while acknowledging that a collision is not likely.

YR4 became the highest-rated asteroid predicted to strike Earth, and although predictions for impact have lowered, not enough ...

The rocky object called Bennu is classified as a near-Earth asteroid ... Discovered by NASA's ATLAS, this small asteroid will exit Earth's orbit by mid-November 2024. Its fleeting presence ...
