NASA / Supplied So far, scientists have only seen a small fraction of the asteroid’s orbit, which every four years goes in a wildly oblong path from ... asteroid called Apophis briefly rated ...

However, as with Apophis, astronomers expected the risk for 2024 YR4 to spike and then fall to zero as they obtained more observational data to reduce uncertainties about the asteroid’s path.

However, as with Apophis, astronomers expected the risk for 2024 YR4 to spike and then fall to zero as they obtained more observational data to reduce uncertainties about the asteroid’s path.

NASA and ESA confirm asteroid 2024 YR4 poses nearly zero threat to Earth in 2032, with new observations reducing its risk assessment significantly.

This rating, however, does not signify instant danger, since the path of the asteroid will be monitored and updated. In the past, even famous asteroids such as Apophis reached Level 4 on the ...

Any danger from Apophis has been completely ruled out by ... NASA and the ESA have gained a better understanding of exactly what path this object follows as it orbits the Sun.

The head of planetary defense at the European Space Agency discusses 2024 YR4, an asteroid with a small chance of striking Earth eight years from now.

New observations have dramatically reduced the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032, lowering the risk to ...
