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

Astronomers have been keeping a close eye on an asteroid between 130 and 300 feet long that has a very small chance of ...

The odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 2032 recently spiked from a little more than 1% to 2.3%, but astronomers say not to fret.

As experts learn more about asteroid 2024 YR4's trajectory, they've confirmed that the odds of impact are expected to rise slightly before it's expected – and hoped – to drop to zero.

It measures 130 to 300 feet across, a pebble compared to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, which is estimated to have ...

And as they learn more about asteroid 2024 YR4's trajectory, the odds of impact are expected to slightly rise before it's expected they fall to zero, astronomers at the Planetary Society have said.

An asteroid has a small chance of hitting Earth less than eight years from now, and astronomers are enlisting the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to study it. Characterized as a ...

"I find this asteroid to be extremely exciting! This is the last chance we have to observe the asteroid from Gemini before 2028." It might not look like much in this image, but this is the ...

“To work out an asteroid’s trajectory precisely, you need to spend as much time as possible following them,” said Lord Dover, senior technical officer at the Bayfordbury Observatory at the ...

Acquiring more data, like refining the space rock’s trajectory, may reduce the odds of a direct hit to zero. But astronomers only have a certain amount of time to observe the asteroid before it ...

Scientists at NASA and the European Space Agency are among those closely watching the asteroid that measures between 130 and 300 feet in diameter and whose trajectory gives it a slight chance of ...
