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.
NASA reassures the world as the once-threatening asteroid 2024 YR4's chances of hitting Earth drop to nearly zero. Discover the latest updates and expert insights on this space rock.
NASA reveals that Asteroid 2024 YR4, previously seen as a high-risk threat, now poses nearly zero chance of hitting Earth in 2032, following meticulous observations by astronomers worldwide.
A close call with asteroid 2024 YR4 had Earth on edge, but recent data shows the likelihood of impact is now extremely low, bringing relief and highlighting the importance of planetary defense measures.
