New asteroid could hit Earth in 2032
Odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth go up again
Updates on Asteroid 2024 YR4 have been slower during the full Moon, but experts say the precision of the object’s orbit is getting better. In March, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will focus on the potential threat to Earth providing the best estimate of its size.
Astronomers are raising the alert level for an asteroid that could be on a collision course with Earth. They gave it a 3% ...
Not much is known about 2024 YR4, but the asteroid is estimated to be 131 to 295 feet (40 to 90 meters) wide, a “size range comparable to that of a large building,” said Dr. Paul Chodas ...
An asteroid has a small chance of hitting Earth less than eight years from now, and astronomers are enlisting the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to study it. Characterized as a ...
Astronomers have been keeping a close eye on an asteroid between 130 and 300 feet long that has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in less than eight years. And as they learn more about ...
An asteroid capable of flattening a mid-sized city could potentially collide with Earth eight years from now, as its orbit around the sun briefly intersects the path of our planet. Named 2024 YR4 ...
That’s the day an asteroid dubbed 2024 YR4 may strike our planet. Cosmic bookmakers don’t make an impact terribly likely—but the risk is on the rise. According to NASA’s Center for Near ...
The race to understand more about the asteroid that − as of now − has a 1.8% chance of colliding with the Earth in December 2032 is getting a boost from a heavy hitter in celestial observation ...
