NASA has recently increased the odds that asteroid YR4, a "city-killer" rock, could strike Earth in 2032. The space agency now estimates the chances of a collision at 1-in-38, or ...

The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 have risen again (again), making it the most dangerous ...

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar ...

In 2018, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission reached asteroid 101955 Bennu. Two years later, the spacecraft snagged a sample of its surface, which has since been returned to Earth. Now, astronomers are ...

Scientists simulated what would happen if a medium-size asteroid were to strike Earth. One of those space rocks, asteroid ...

Asteroid Bennu, the size of the Empire State Building, has a small chance of hitting Earth in 2182, potentially triggering ...

Bennu has a diameter of roughly 500 meters (1,640 feet) and has a 1 in 2,700 chance of hitting our planet in September 2182.

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).

In a recent study, scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics (ICCP) at Pusan National University in South Korea ...

One of them, Bennu, has a 1-in-2,700 chance of colliding with Earth in September 2182, the researchers note. If that happens, the researchers suggest, major long-term changes would occur on Earth ...

The near-Earth asteroid Bennu poses a potential threat of collision with Earth. New research shows that an impact could cause drastic climate changes, leading to 'impact winter' and severe ozone ...

While the odds of Bennu impacting Earth may sound alarming, they're not entirely unexpected. "On average, medium-sized asteroids collide with Earth about every 100–200 thousand years.
