Earth, asteroid

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.
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
An asteroid has a very small chance to hit Earth. What happens if it does?
Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.
Chances of asteroid striking Earth in the next decade has nearly doubled, NASA says
The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.
An asteroid has a 2.2 per cent chance of hitting Earth. How would we respond to an actual threat?
NASA says it's aware of an asteroid with a "very small chance" of hitting Earth in seven years. It's raised questions about what scientists could do to divert a threatening asteroid — and who would be responsible for it.
A "city-killer" asteroid has a slim chance to crash into Earth. Here's what to know.
"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said.
Massive Asteroid Is Headed for Earth. Here's Where It Could Hit in 2032
According to the BBC, the asteroid's size means it would have the same power as a nuclear bomb if it were to hit the Earth.
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.
2.3% chance asteroid will hit earth with devastating impact
Nasa’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies has located an asteroid hurtling in our direction and believes it could make landfall in 2032.
The Odds of a Newly Discovered Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032 Keep Rising
YR4 has a 2.2% chance of striking Earth in seven years, but recent updates keep pushing the odds in the wrong direction.
NASA warns chances of asteroid hitting Earth have increased
"City-killer" asteroid's odds of crashing into Earth go up as Webb telescope is tasked with studying massive space rock
Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2032.
