There’s a tiny chance the asteroid headed for Earth could hit the moon
YR4 does smash down on the lunar surface, the explosion might be visible from Earth and would leave a new crater on the near side of the moon
Here’s what an MIT scientist says about the asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032
Astronomers will have more information later this spring about the asteroid's path and its likelihood of hitting Earth.
NASA to study "city-killer" asteroid as odds of hitting Earth go up
Astronomers are enlisting the help of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to study an asteroid that has a small chance of striking Earth less than eight years from now. Characterized as a potential "city-killer,
Newly discovered asteroid now has a slightly higher risk of hitting Earth
A newly discovered asteroid named 2024 YR4 now has a 2.2% chance of affecting Earth in 2032 after recent observations.
Is a Big Asteroid Going to Hit Earth in 2032?
No, or at least not because of the 2024 YR asteroid. First off, there is currently only about a one-in-43 chance that this rock hits Earth, and those odds will change (and probably go down) as scientists gather more data on the recently spotted asteroid. A nearly 98 percent chance it won’t hit us is pretty good.
The odds of an asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 just went slightly up
The chances that a space rock could hit Earth in less than a decade just went up slightly, according to NASA scientists. The asteroid 2024 YR4, which is expected to pass Earth in 2032, was recently calculated to have a 1-out-of-43 chance of striking our planet. By contrast, last week 2024 YR4 had only a 1-out-of-83 chance of striking our planet.
Odds Of Football Field-Sized Asteroid Hitting Earth Just Went Up
Astronomers have upped the odds of an asteroid called 2024 YR4 striking Earth, albeit in 2032, but warn that it will most likely soon be downgraded and miss Earth.
Odds of recently discovered asteroid hitting earth increase
UNDATED (WKRC) - The chance of Asteroid 2024 YR4, originally discovered in December, colliding with earth has increased, according to a space agency statement on Monday.
Newly spotted asteroid has a tiny chance of hitting Earth in 2032
A newly discovered asteroid has a tiny chance of striking Earth in 2032. NASA and the European Space Agency said Wednesday the chance of impact is slightly more than 1%.
Asteroid's odds of hitting Earth went up. Scientists aren't surprised.
It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.
