NASA has said Earth will likely be spared by a deadly Big Ben-sized asteroid and predicts it could smash into the Moon instead in a dramatic collision. The space agency feared the chance of a ...
No, or at least not because of the 2024 YR4 asteroid. There is now a .004 percent chance it will impact Earth. Here’s NASA’s explanation of why it’s no longer considered a threat (for at least the ...
NASA has repeatedly changed estimates on whether a huge Big Ben-sized asteroid first spotted last year will crash into Earth ...
Not much is known about 2024 YR4, but the asteroid is estimated to be 131 to 295 feet (40 to 90 meters) wide, a “size range comparable to that of a large building,” said Dr. Paul Chodas ...
An asteroid nearly the size of a football field now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, NASA says — with the space agency saying it "no longer poses a significant ...
The narrow difference is due to the two agencies’ use of different tools for determining the asteroid’s orbit and modeling its potential impact. But both percentages rise above the 2.7% chance ...
An asteroid gaining notoriety for its potential to collide with Earth in 2032 was estimated Tuesday to have roughly a 3% chance of striking our planet — the highest probability ever assigned ...
Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid that could be as big as a football field as they try to determine just how likely it is to strike Earth in 2032.
Astronomers have been keeping a close eye on an asteroid between 130 and 300 feet long that has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in less than eight years. And as they learn more about ...
