There's a giant ball of fire and doom headed for Earth, or at least near it. But don't worry, science will save us.

Scientists estimate that an asteroid called 2024 YR4 has a 2.3 per cent (up from 1 per cent) chance of striking Earth in December 2032.

Astronomers have opened up the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to foreign scientists to determine how much damage the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope will be helping to track asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032.

The chances of an asteroid hitting the Earth with enough force to destroy a small country have been increased to 1 in 43.

So while the odds have doubled, astronomers aren't too worried. When 2024 YR 4 had a risk of less than 1%, NASA's Planetary ...
