Recently, NASA was tracking a large asteroid flying past Earth known as the so-called "city killer." "This one got a lot of attention because it rose to a threat level that we just have not seen ...

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% ...

GRAND FORKS, ND — Astronomers have turned their high-powered telescopes toward a 100-meter wide asteroid hurtling in its orbit through the Milky Way galaxy and are hoping it doesn’t collide wi ...

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 ...

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 ...

The asteroid Bennu is puzzling scientists, with samples from the space rock showing weirder properties than they expected. These include extremely high nitrogen levels and improbably magnetic ...

The ESO's Very Large Telescope provided crucial data needed to calculate the asteroid's orbit. The potential risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth in 2032 dropped to nearly zero following new ...

The possibility of “city-killing” asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth has doubled within the last few weeks, just like something out of a sci-fi movie. The asteroid, big enough to wipe out an ...

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.

An asteroid that's big enough to wipe out a city has a 1-in-43 chance of hitting our planet in the year 2032. But according to new calculations, there's an even smaller chance that it might crash ...

NASA has upgraded the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 to 3.1 per cent, or about a 1-in-32 chance, the highest odds yet of collision. Astronomers discovered that the asteroid was ...

A newly discovered asteroid has climbed to the top of NASA's impact risk list after fresh observations doubled its chances of striking Earth in 2032. Recent images captured by the Gemini South ...
