Asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to be on a collision course with Earth, has origins from the main asteroid belt. New studies reveal its surprising characteristics and trajectory.
NASA reveals that the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Moon on December 22, 2032, have increased to nearly 4%. What does this mean for the Moon and potential human presence there?
NASA's latest findings reveal that the asteroid 2024 YR4, initially thought to be on a collision course with Earth, is now predicted to impact the Moon instead. Measuring up to 220 feet, this celestial body has caught the attention of the planetary defense community.
Astronomers have spotted a 'city-killer' asteroid, 2024 YR4, before it vanishes until 2028. While it's not set to hit Earth in 2032, its potential to impact the moon is a concern.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 was once feared to have a 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but the Webb Space Telescope's latest images show it's much less threatening. Discover what these findings mean for future space threats!
In early 2023, asteroid 2024 YR4 raised alarms with a 1% chance of hitting Earth. Now, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists are revealing its unique characteristics and the importance of studying such space rocks for future planetary defense.
Asteroid 2024 YR4, once a potential threat to Earth, now has a 2% chance of hitting the Moon. Scientists are eager to observe the potential impact and its consequences.
The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully observed asteroid 2024 YR4, revealing it may be larger and rockier than once thought. While Earth is safe, a moon impact remains possible in 2032!
NASA has significantly lowered the impact risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 to just 0.004% for Earth in 2032, but a small chance remains for the Moon. Learn how scientists are turning this asteroid into a learning opportunity for planetary defense.
NASA and ESA confirm Earth is out of danger from asteroid 2024 YR4, reducing strike odds to minimal levels. The asteroid poses no threat of impact for the next century, providing a rare opportunity for study.
