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 ...

An asteroid, estimated to be about 130 to 300 feet wide, has a chance of crashing into Earth in less than eight years. According to NASA, asteroid 2024 YR4 has a low probability of hitting Earth ...

A new asteroid that was discovered hurtling towards Earth in December has the highest odds of a collision to date, according to new data from NASA. New Scientist reported on Monday that asteroid ...

The chances of an asteroid as large as the width of an NFL field striking Earth continue to tick up, according to NASA. The recently discovered Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 2.6% probability of ...

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 dinosaurs, of course, could do nothing about the killer asteroid, other than presumably waving their tiny arms at the oncoming doom. But if they did have a space program — and yes ...

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 ...
