Will That Asteroid Strike Earth? Risk Level Rises to Highest Ever Recorded.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 currently has a 3.1% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032.

Relief May Be on the Way: Scientists Found an Asteroid That Might Smash Into Earth in 2032 And the Odds Just Went UP

An asteroid may pose a risk to Earth in December 2032, but the probability of impact is quite low.

Bus-sized asteroid will temporarily join Earth's orbit as 'mini moon' starting Sunday

A newly discovered mini moon, asteroid 2024 PT5, will temporarily orbit Earth for about two months before departing into space.

How do astronomers track asteroids that could threaten Earth?

Astronomers will monitor asteroid 2024 YR4 closely, with current impact chances at 2.1%, but expect this probability to decrease significantly.

A New Mini-Moon Is Being Captured by Planet Earth

Asteroid 2024 PT5 will temporarily orbit Earth, enhancing our understanding of near-Earth objects.
