NASA and ESA are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially had a higher collision probability with Earth than the Apophis asteroid. New data has since lowered the impact risk to 1.5% ...

Discovered in December 2024, YR4 currently ranks 3 out of 10 on the Torino Scale. Nasa said it is deploying the James Webb Space Telescope to overserve the asteroid. The asteroid will be at its ...

The media is full of reports of a “city killer” asteroid called 2024 YR4 that's destined to impact Earth in 2032, with astronomers about to be left helpless as it moves out of view of ...

At the time, the odds of a small asteroid first discovered late last year—and designated 2024 YR4—hitting us were non-negligible. There was an estimated 3.2 percent chance that the large rock ...

NASA will use the James Webb Space Telescope to gather crucial data on the size of asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a small chance of striking Earth in 2032. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST ...

Discovery images of 2024 YR4. (Credit: ATLAS) Estimated to be about 40 to 90 meters wide, 2024 YR4 has an average 2 per cent chance of hitting Earth, on December 22, 2032. According to Dr Paul ...

While 2024 YR4 poses no threat, it will still have a major scientific impact when it passes Earth in 2028 and again in 2032. On Dec. 17, the asteroid will come to within 5 million miles of Earth.

NASA has dropped the probability of an impact from asteroid 2024 YR4 — at first to 1 in 67, and now to 1 in 360. The radical drop in impact risk for 2024 YR4 comes just days after its risk ...

The probability of Asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth in the near future has leapt from having a near-zero chance of occurring to having roughly a 3 percent chance. While that may not seem like a ...

The possibility of “city-killing” asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth has doubled within the last few weeks, just like something out of a sci-fi movie. The asteroid, big enough to wipe out an ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, measuring 130 to 300 feet wide, currently has a 1.5% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. The odds of impact have decreased from initial estimates, and NASA expects them to ...
