NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032
The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans.
In the case of Apophis, further observations eventually allowed astronomers in 2021 to rule out the possibility of an impact when the asteroid makes a close flyby to Earth in 2029 and again in ...
In 2021, NASA gave the all-clear to another potentially worrisome asteroid, Apophis, after new telescope observations ruled out any chance of it hitting Earth in 2068. It’s way too soon to fret ...
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has been a source of consternation because it carries an uncommonly high risk of colliding into Earth. It's the most hazardous space rock detected since astronomers first ...
