Keeping Earth safe from asteroids isn’t just spotting them – it’s also helping people understand what a high-impact probability with Earth means.

"The impact could pose some danger to equipment or astronauts on the moon, and certainly to satellites and other Earth-orbiting platforms, which are above our atmosphere." ...

Debris released from the asteroid Dimorphos during NASA's DART mission has a higher momentum and less random distribution ...

I was preparing for my early morning class back in January 2025 when I received a notice regarding an asteroid called 2024 YR4. It said the probability it could hit Earth was unusually high.

YR4 holds a 4 per cent chance of hitting the Moon. Discovered after it had already passed Earth, the asteroid's trajectory highlights the limitations of current Earth-based detection systems.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines earlier this year when its probability of impacting Earth in 2032 rose as high as 3%. While an Earth impact has now been ruled out, the asteroid's story continues.

NASA has announced that an asteroid about 200 feet in diameter is now slightly more likely to crash into the moon.

All eyes will be on the sky today as a huge 280-foot asteroid is to zoom close to Earth at more than 20,000mph.Luckily for ...
