But scientists revised that assessment after a precise analysis of the asteroid’s orbit in 2021. And scientists are expecting similar forecasting trends with 2024 YR4, which currently sits at a ...

The odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 2032 recently spiked from a little more than 1% to 2.3% as more ...

While YR4's impact odds have unseated Apophis, the larger asteroid still briefly hit a higher rating of 4 on the Torino Scale. A radar observation campaign in March 2021 during a distant flyby ...

It measures 130 to 300 feet across, a pebble compared to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, which is estimated to have ...

In 2021, NASA gave the all-clear to another potentially worrisome asteroid, Apophis, after new telescope observations ruled out any chance of it hitting Earth in 2068.

In the case of Apophis, further observations eventually allowed astronomers in 2021 to rule out the possibility of an impact when the asteroid makes a close flyby to Earth in 2029 and again in ...

In 2021, NASA gave the all-clear to another potentially worrisome asteroid, Apophis, after new telescope observations ruled out any chance of it hitting Earth in 2068. It’s way too soon to fret ...
