In December 2024, astronomers in Chile spotted a new asteroid streaking through the sky, which they named 2024 YR4. What’s significant about this 100m-wide space rock is that it has a small chance of ...

Around 600 million years ago, Earth was home to strange, soft-bodied sea creatures, but a powerful asteroid impact in what is ...

NASA is closely monitoring Asteroid 2014 TN17 due to its size and tremendous speed, as these kinds of space rocks are ...

YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.

Although this is generally a low figure, it is unusual for a wandering asteroid in space to have a collision probability exceeding 1% with Earth. This center has been updating the collision ...

The 700–1,300 feet-wide space rock deformed rocks more than six miles from the impact site when it hit 600 million years ago.

Now new predictions of the moon-asteroid collision have surfaced. US space agency NASA in a post on X stated, “New data gathered last night (Feb. 19-20) dropped the December 2032 impact odds of ...

The Hera probe has swung around Mars, using the planet’s gravitational pull to fling itself toward its asteroid target.

New observations have dramatically reduced the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032, lowering the risk to ...
