A so-called "city killer" asteroid scientists have been monitoring after discovering it had a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032 "no longer poses a significant threat," NASA said in its latest ...

The asteroid, Asteroid 2024 YR4, which was first spotted by telescopes on Dec. 27, now has a 0.004 percent chance of hitting the planet and is “expected to safely pass… ...

The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth in 2032 have reduced from the previously thought 3.1 per cent to nearly zero per cent, NASA said. The space agency revealed that the asteroid has a ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a large space rock continues to be in the spotlight since being discovered in December last year. Earlier this week, scientists increased the chances of the asteroid striking ...

The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth has been reduced to almost zero after new observations dramatically shrunk the “uncertainty window,” according to the European Space Agency.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially raising impact concerns, is confirmed safe for Earth after precise observations by the Subaru Telescope. Early warnings, initiated by ATLAS, noted a minimal risk, but ...
