Asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to hit Earth, now has a 4.3% chance of striking the Moon by 2032, possibly visible from Earth ...

The latest data on asteroid 2024 YR4 has scientists confident that Earth is no longer in the bullseye. However the enormous ...

If Asteroid 2024 YR4 crashes into the Moon in 2032, it would be the largest impact in about 5,000 years, according to a new analysis. Researchers say the Moon debris would threaten spacecraft in ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.8% to 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.

In a cosmic twist of fate, scientists have confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4, a near-Earth asteroid previously thought to pose a significant threat, will not collide with our planet in 2032 ...

2024 YR4 was first discovered in December 2024. It's relatively small — just 130 to 300 feet (40 to 90 meters) across. But it's classified as an Apollo-type asteroid, meaning its orbit regularly ...
