The asteroid was discovered after passing by Earth in December, and after April, it won’t be visible again until June 2028, when it is expected to fly harmlessly by our planet again.

Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 dropped to near zero, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.

Although the percentage of impact is still relatively low — a fluctuating 1%, depending on the day — astronomers won’t have ...

For an hour, HERA flew as close as 5,600 kilometers from the Martian surface, at a speed of 33,480 kilometers an hour. It ...

and astronomers will take time to interpret the telescope's data and determine what it could mean for the asteroid's route before it shows itself again in 2028.

JWST may rule out an impact in 2032. But there's a chance we may be stuck with a few-percentage impact probability until 2028, when the asteroid makes its next Earth flyby. Bit awkward ...

The chances that an asteroid hits Earth in 2032 are now at their highest since the object was first discovered, according to NASA.

NASA and the European Space Agency’s Webb Space Telescope will observe this near-Earth asteroid in March before the object disappears from view. It will come back into view in 2028. While the ...

The head of planetary defense at the European Space Agency discusses 2024 YR4, an asteroid with a small chance of striking Earth eight years from now.

The researchers found that if we launched such a mission during an optimal window, around the summer of 2028, a spacecraft weighing as little as 22 pounds (10 kilograms) could reach the asteroid ...
