NASA's DART spacecraft attempted to deflect an asteroid about the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza. New work tracking the debris has found a few fairly large surprises.

Paul Wiegert, a Western physics and astronomy professor, shares insights on asteroid 2024 YR4 and the likelihood it will hit Earth or the Moon.

YR4 holds a 4 per cent chance of hitting the Moon. Discovered after it had already passed Earth, the asteroid's trajectory highlights the limitations of current Earth-based detection systems.

The detection of 3I/ATLAS marks our solar system’s third time saying aloha to an interstellar visitor, following the ...

YR4 won’t hit Earth, but a 4% chance remains for a lunar impact. ESA's upcoming NEOMIR telescope could revolutionize early ...

Save the world and get fabulously wealthy doing so. Someone really should make a movie out of that scenario, before it ...

"If 2024 YR4 strikes the Moon in 2032, it will (statistically speaking) be the largest impact in approximately 5,000 years," ...
