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% ...

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 ...

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 ...

NASA has downgraded the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 to 1.5 per cent, or 1-in-67, down from a high of a 1-in-32 chance, which was the highest odds yet of collision. Astronomers ...

It was reported in January that the recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 had a 1-in-83 chance of hitting Earth in December 2032. A few weeks later, those odds were reduced to a more worrying 1-in ...

Although it is too small to end human civilization, 2024 YR4 could still wipe out a major city, releasing about 8 megatons of energy upon impact — more than 500 times the energy released by the ...

The media is full of reports of a “city killer” asteroid called 2024 YR4 that's destined to impact Earth in 2032, with astronomers about to be left helpless as it moves out of view of ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, measuring 130 to 300 feet wide, currently has a 1.5% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. The odds of impact have decreased from initial estimates, and NASA expects them to ...
