NASA is monitoring a bus-sized asteroid as it makes its closest approach to Earth today, among a group of five space rocks ...

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

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, called 2024 YR4, is orbiting on a path that will bring it close to Earth in 2032, with scientists previously calculating impact probability at around 3%. Asteroid 2024 YR4's impact ...

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.

Getty NASA has considerably lowered the risk of the asteroid 2024 YR4’s collision with Earth. In a news release on Monday, Feb. 24, the space agency announced that the asteroid — which ...

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) scientists have officially ruled out the possibility of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth in 2032, with the latest analysis reducing the risk to just 0.001 ...

The asteroid, measuring between 130 to 300 feet wide, was discovered in December 2024. While the risk to Earth is negligible, 2024 YR4 has a slightly higher chance of impacting the moon.

Threat level reduced A week ago, asteroid 2024 YR4 held the highest recorded impact probability. NASA estimated a 3.1 percent chance of collision, while the European Space Agency (ESA) placed it ...

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 ...

New information is pushing Asteroid 2024 YR4 off of our front pages. Initial estimates gave it a 2.8% chance of striking Earth in 2032. Now, the European Space Agency says the chance of it ...

After two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any threat from the asteroid 2024 YR4, NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday. At one point, the odds of a strike ...
