Scientists say the threat of a newly discovered asteroid has risen slightly in the past few weeks, as the world's telescopes ...

Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a ...

The $10 billion orbiting observatory will give astronomers a better sense of the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4's size and ...

The world’s top astronomers are closely watching an asteroid they say has a 2.3% chance of hitting earth in 2032 - up from ...

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is tracking asteroid 2025 CG, set to pass Earth safely today at about 1.3 million miles away. Though small, its high speed and proximity classify it as a near ...

While that may sound far, in terms of the cosmos, it’s a close approach. NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) kept close track of the asteroid’s trajectory with radar and optical ...

Experts note that such fluctuations in impact probabilities are normal in the asteroid tracking process. As new observations are made, predictions will be refined. Space agencies like NASA and ESA ...

NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) are actively tracking the asteroid's path and most experts think it will eventually turn out to be a non-risk. Even in the very unlikely case that 2024 YR4 ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 was first discovered in December 2024, and like most newly discovered near-Earth objects (NEOs), its exact trajectory and potential for impact were initially uncertain. Astronomers, ...

With improvement in tracking data, the uncertainty is naturally adjusted, which may sometimes lead to increased odds of a potential impact. However, the most probable situation is that the asteroid ...
