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.
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.
NASA to study "city-killer" asteroid as odds of hitting Earth go up
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.
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.
NASA Just Doubled the Odds of an Asteroid Impact – Should We Worry?
YR4 now has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032, prompting ongoing observations. Ground-based telescopes will track it until April, while NASA’s Webb Telescope will examine its size in 2025. New
NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a chance of hitting Earth, scientists actively monitoring
Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.
NASA discovers asteroid that's now the most significant threat to Earth
Astronomers identified a potentially hazardous asteroid traveling 38,700 mph, measuring between 130 and 300 feet wide, and a slim chance of hitting Earth.
Scientists taking 'active measures' for asteroid with slight chance of hitting earth.
YR4 has just above a 1% chance of crashing into Earth in 2032, which is why astronomers and space agencies are paying attention to it.
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.
Chances of a big asteroid strike on Earth just doubled. Here’s why you shouldn’t be too worried.
By comparison, the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and 70% of all other animal species on Earth around 65 million years ago was roughly 6 to 9 miles wide. Other notable impact events include one in 1908,
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.
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.
