Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially a concern for Earth, now poses a slight risk to the Moon. While a direct Earth impact is ruled ...

The likelihood of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 rose and fell last week. NASA's impact odds are now so slim that the asteroid is no longer a hazard on the Torino asteroid scale.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, once dubbed a “city killer”, has an alarmingly high 1-in-26 chance of smashing into the lunar satellite, according to NASA's latest chilling update.

In the new study, researchers set out to calculate just how likely it is that an asteroid could hit Earth during the average ...

Although it won’t hit Earth, an asteroid once labeled a “city killer” is now back in the spotlight — this time, because it might hit the moon. KTLA spoke with Davide Farnocchia, a navigation engineer ...

The inventor of the Torino Impact Hazard Scale has explained how scientists are working to ‘pin down’ the position of asteroid YR24. Professor Richard Binzel told Yahoo News that it is "perfectly ...

YR4 now has more chance of hitting the moon than Earth - standing at about 1.7 percent. Luca said: “If that happened it would be a fantastic thing to see, but wouldn’t pose any danger to us.” ...

So, YR4's descent to level zero has conformed with the Torino scale's predictions. The odds for YR4 striking Earth began at 1-in-83, before steadily reducing to a trough of 1-in-32.

The likelihood of an impact with YR4 in the near future was earlier pegged at 3.1%, which was reconfigured to as low as 1.5% a week ago, with scientists now stating that there is an effective 0% ...

At its peak threat level, 2024 YR4 reached a 3 on the Torino Scale and had an estimated 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, according to NASA. The ESA’s observations reached a peak of a 2.8% risk.

The asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2% chance of hitting the moon in December 2032, a slight rise from NASA’s February estimate of 1.7%. The asteroid 2024 YR4, initially feared to be a “city-killer ...

Initially flagged as a potential Earth threat, asteroid 2024 YR4, a 200-foot space rock, is now predicted to potentially strike the moon in 2032. While not directly endangering Earth, a lunar impact ...
