The odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 2032 recently spiked from a little more than 1% to 2.3% as more observations are made.

Astronomers have been given access to the James Webb Space Telescope to assess the threat posed by asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a one-in-43 chance of hitting Earth in 2032

Keep your eye on the ball” is a motto for many athletes—and for astronomers trying to find Earth-threatening space rocks

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has declared a 1.6% chance that a large asteroid would strike the Earth when on Dec. 22, 2032.

YR4 has a 2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.

Astronomers have captured a new image of the asteroid 2024 YR4, which now has a 1 in 48 chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

YR4 is between 50 and 90 meters in size, large enough to cause localized damage in the very unlikely event it impacts Earth. With its size and chance of impact, a gl

Scientists warn that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.3% chance of striking Earth in 2032—a small but serious risk. Nicknamed a "city killer," this space rock could cause massive destruction if it hits. NASA is using the James Webb Telescope to refine its trajectory,
