YR4 won’t hit Earth, but a 4% chance remains for a lunar impact. ESA's upcoming NEOMIR telescope could revolutionize early ...

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 2024 YR4 asteroid, which once registered a possibility of hitting Earth, now has a 4.3% chance of hitting the moon in 2032. The latest observations utilized NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

A ‘city-killer’ asteroid that, until a few months ago, was believed to be a threat to Earth is increasingly looking like it could crash into the Moon in 2032. Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered ...

However, chances of a hit to the Moon are increasing. Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on Dec. 27 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) telescope in Río Hurtado, Chile.

April 3 (UPI) -- NASA said that an asteroid previously believed to be destined for Earth is the size of a 10-story building and is now more likely to make impact with the moon. Designated as near ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 won't hit Earth in December 2032, but that doesn't mean we're out of the woods forever. Researchers warn that "city killer" space rock could approach our planet again in the ...

In late 2024, astronomers spotted asteroid 2024 YR4 on a trajectory that could potentially threaten Earth. This observation triggered a fervid series of observations of the object — possibly as ...

2024 YR4 was first discovered in December 2024. It's relatively small — just 130 to 300 feet (40 to 90 meters) across. But it's classified as an Apollo-type asteroid, meaning its orbit regularly ...

The asteroid, which was first reported in December 2024 and is large enough to destroy an entire city, was initially calculated to have a 1% chance of hitting the Earth in the year 2032.

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.

The asteroid, which measures 130 feet to 300 feet in diameter, was first detected in December 2024, prompting early calculations that gave it a 3 percent chance of colliding with Earth in 2032.
