“Two months before YR4 was found, there was 2024 RW1, a minor asteroid found at the Catalina Sky Survey. And Jaqueline Fazekas, who was an observer for the Catalina Sky Survey, found it at around 10 p ...

The asteroid 2024 YR4, once considered potentially hazardous, isn't likely to hit us anytime soon. Now, a team of researchers ...

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% ...

The asteroid was first discovered in late 2024 and reported when it surpassed the 1% impact probability threshold required to formally notify relevant U.S. government agencies of the object.

The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations.

NASA confirms asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 3.1% chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032, potentially causing severe local damage. Estimated at 130 to 300 feet in diameter, its impact could ...

The potential risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth in 2032 dropped to nearly zero following new observations that helped better predict the asteroid's trajectory. Measuring about 131 to 295 ...

2024 YR4 has now fallen from the riskiest asteroid on NASA’s automated Sentry list of potentially hazardous asteroids to the seventh highest position. In December, the Asteroid Terrestrial ...

Called 2024 YR4, the near-Earth asteroid initially carried a 1% chance of hitting land when NASA and the European Space Agency first announced its existence last month. Protocols require the ...

The asteroid — which was initially discovered in December 2024 — is large enough to destroy a whole city, according to scientists Toria Sheffield joined the PEOPLE editorial staff in 2024.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a large space rock continues to be in the spotlight since being discovered in December last year. Earlier this week, scientists increased the chances of the asteroid striking ...

The world’s space agencies have reduced the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth to below 1 per cent, which strongly suggests that a potentially devastating collision will be avoided.
