NASA and ESA are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially had a higher collision probability with Earth than the Apophis asteroid. New data has since lowered the impact risk to 1.5% ...

However, many asteroids are known to be rubble piles, essentially collections of rocks held together loosely by gravity, such as the asteroid Bennu that was visited by NASA’s ORISIS-REx spacecraft.

Nasa is monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.5% chance of hitting Earth by 2032. Measuring between 130 and 300 feet wide, the asteroid could impact a major city, endangering millions.

Bennu’s potential collision with Earth is a remote but unsettling possibility, according to a new study. Bennu is about 500 metres wide—taller than the Empire State Building and as wide as ...

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 ...

Overall, they write, a Bennu-type asteroid could lead to “severe environmental consequences,” reducing land photosynthesis by 36 percent and marine photosynthesis by 25 percent. That would in ...
