NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth in 2032 through recent calculations. The moon however, may not be in the clear.
However, another update shared by NASA on Wednesday showed that 2024 YR4 has a 1.5% chance of colliding with Earth in December 2032, based on new observations now that the full moon has passed.
And the size of Earth, luckily, remains the same. So, that means Earth is now occupying twice the amount of space in the uncertainty region. And it means our estimate for the impact risk has ...
For the first time, we’re seeing an image from the record-breaking US military space plane while in Earth orbit. Over the weekend, the US Space Force shared a photo taken by the spacecraft X-37B ...
What would happen if Earth stopped spinning? There is no chance that you'll be flung off to space right now, because the Earth's gravity is so strong compared to its spinning motion. (This ...
Earth’s Middle Miocene climate shift from warmth to chill aligns with this galactic flyby, hinting at a space-weather event that could rival volcanoes and shifting continents in power.
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 space rock could be anywhere between around 33 and 72 feet in diameter, noted the JPL's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). 2025 DM7 is not the only asteroid within the vicinity of ...
