CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Asteroid samples fetched by NASA hold not only the pristine building blocks for life but also the salty remains of an ancient water world, scientists reported Wednesday.

NASA gave the all-clear Monday on an asteroid that previously had a chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. The asteroid was first discovered in late 2024 and reported when it surpassed the 1% ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Scientists have finally given the all-clear to Earth from a newly discovered asteroid. After two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any ...

Nasa is monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.5% chance of hitting Earth by 2032. Measuring between 130 and 300 feet wide, the asteroid could impact a major city, endangering millions.

Chances are increasing that a large asteroid, dubbed YR4, will strike Earth in 2032, possibly resulting in large-scale destruction wherever it lands. On Tuesday, astronomers with NASA’s Center ...

A newly discovered asteroid has climbed to the top of NASA's impact risk list after fresh observations doubled its chances of striking Earth in 2032. Recent images captured by the Gemini South ...

The chances of an asteroid as large as the width of an NFL field striking Earth continue to tick up, according to NASA. The recently discovered Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 2.6% probability of ...

A new asteroid that was discovered hurtling towards Earth in December has the highest odds of a collision to date, according to new data from NASA. New Scientist reported on Monday that asteroid ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 is also considerably smaller than the 500-metre-wide asteroid called Bennu, which currently has a less than one per cent chance of smashing into Earth in 2182. A recent study ...
