NASA and ESA are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially had a higher collision probability with Earth than the Apophis asteroid. New data has since lowered the impact risk to 1.5% ...

At the time, the odds of a small asteroid first discovered late last year—and designated 2024 YR4—hitting us were non-negligible. There was an estimated 3.2 percent chance that the large rock ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a large space rock continues to be in the spotlight since being discovered in December last year. Earlier this week, scientists increased the chances of the asteroid striking ...

Media reports suggest that NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) remains committed to keeping a close watch on asteroid 2024 YR4. Even with the risk to Earth minimized scientists ...

The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations.

The world’s space agencies have reduced the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth to below 1 per cent, which strongly suggests that a potentially devastating collision will be avoided.

The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth have fallen once again, now to 0.28%. Overnight observations by the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies dropped the likelihood of impact once again ...

While 2024 YR4 poses no threat, it will still have a major scientific impact when it passes Earth in 2028 and again in 2032. On Dec. 17, the asteroid will come to within 5 million miles of Earth.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 is certainly keeping NASA on its toes, as the threat of its potential to collide with Earth in 2032 continues to yo-yo. Just three days ago, the space agency announced that the ...

Nobody's hitting the panic button yet. Asteroid 2024 YR4, deemed the riskiest asteroid on record last week, now has nearly a zero percent chance of impacting Earth in 2032, according to NASA and ...

I wonder if the idea that planets have cleared their paths means that a planet killing asteroid is rare in an astronomical scale. Is the number of planet destroying asteroids on an ever decreasing ...
