Then our gravity will change the asteroid’s orbit. After we’ve circled the sun six times, we meet Apophis again in 2036. And THAT was the worrisome encounter. Once again the two of us meet on a Friday ...

CBS News has learned that experts believe the probability of a crash will likely fall below 1% before April, when the asteroid's orbit takes it too far from Earth for observation. After that ...

A new asteroid that was discovered hurtling towards Earth in December has the highest odds of a collision to date, according to new data from NASA. New Scientist reported on Monday that asteroid ...

An asteroid between about 130 and 300 ft. (40 and 90 meters) in diameter has been given a 2.3% chance of it hitting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. Here’s what would happen if it hits — and why using ...

It could be even farther than the Moon.” The asteroid was discovered after passing by Earth in December, and after April, it won’t be visible again until June 2028, when it is expected to fly ...

On Friday the 13th (yes, really) of April 2029, Earth will avoid an apocalyptic event by an astronomical hair’s breadth as the asteroid Apophis, streaks by. It will come closer to Earth than the ...

NASA officials this week said recent calculations show a significantly smaller risk than previously believed that Earth could be annihilated in 2032 as a result of being hit by Asteroid 2024 YR4.

The asteroid is currently heading away from Earth and won’t swing by again until 2028 (note: there is no chance of impact in 2028). By April, the asteroid will likely be too faint for even the ...

NASA gave the all-clear Monday on an asteroid that previously had a chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. The asteroid was first discovered in late 2024 and reported when it surpassed the 1% ...

There's a small chance that the asteroid could collide with Moon. While scientists have doubled the odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032, new calculations show that there was a ...

The asteroid will fly behind the Sun in April, putting it out of sight of most of Earth’s terrestrial telescopes until it comes back into view in 2028. Credit Nasa/JPL/Wikimedia Commons ...

The risk of the 2024 YR4 asteroid hitting Earth at the end of 2032 has increased again, according to NASA data. Latest calculations have shown a 3.1% chance of the space rock making impact in just ...
