Lindley Johnson has been a pioneer in blueprinting warning and response scenarios to any potential impact of Earth by an ...

THE odds of a “city killer” asteroid that once threatened Earth instead smashing into the moon have just doubled. YR4 was ...

This is a still from an animation showing asteroid 2024 YR4 as it passes by Earth and heads toward its potential impact with the Moon. This 3D shape of the asteroid was determined from data obtained ...

A few months ago, an asteroid created quite a buzz. At one point, asteroid 2024 YR4 had a 3.1% chance of hitting Earth, ...

Asteroids’ orbits around the sun may put them in collision paths with inner planets. We may have had a near-miss, but ...

YR4, once feared to hit Earth, may now strike the Moon in 2032, with NASA tracking its path using the Webb Telescope., Science News - Times Now ...

"We are a bit surprised about its origin in the central main asteroid belt, which is a location in the asteroid belt that we ...

NASA says the chances of an asteroid dubbed ‘2024 YR4’ hitting the lunar surface have doubled since February. The odds of an asteroid recently discovered by scientists hitting the Moon are increasing, ...

After giving us quite the scare (or something to look forward to), NASA removed 2024 YR4 from its naughty list when calculations showed that the asteroid had a near-zero chance of hitting Earth.

Don't worry – it's still not a danger to Earth for the time being. When we last checked in, odds of a collision between 2024 YR4 and Earth were at just 0.001 percent, far too low to be considered ...

A planetary scientist explains new research explaining the differing compositions between space rocks that hit Earth and are ...

so are more likely to hit. The resonant "pumping" stretching the orbit both inward and outward from the asteroid belt has already made 2024 YR4 cross Earth's orbit, giving it a chance to impact.
