One lucky bidder will soon fork over millions of dollars to take home NWA 16788, a 54-pound (24-kilogram) Martian meteorite.
"The impact could pose some danger to equipment or astronauts on the moon, and certainly to satellites and other Earth-orbiting platforms, which are above our atmosphere." ...
Science Space Deep Space Space Telescope Asteroid 2024 YR4 might smash into the moon Astronomers estimate the chances of a collision are 4 percent. Andrew Paul Jun 30, 2025 4:05 PM EDT ...
Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines earlier this year when its probability of impacting Earth in 2032 rose as high as 3%. While an Earth impact has now been ruled out, the asteroid's story continues.
New simulations reveal that the infamous "city killer" asteroid 2024 YR4 could shower Earth with "bullet-like" debris if it hits the moon in seven years' time, potentially triggering an eye ...
An asteroid that, until a few months ago, was believed to be a threat to Earth is increasingly looking like it could crash into the Moon in 2032.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA has found Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a slightly higher chance of hitting the moon in 2032.
An asteroid that set off a global effort to determine if it would impact Earth in 2032 is no longer a threat to our planet, however, chances of a hit to the Moon are increasing.
The James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first look at the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 before a perilous close approach in 2032. The telescope confirmed Earth is safe, but there is a 3.8% ...
NASA said that info from the James Webb Telescope showed that asteroid 2024 YR4 is the size of a 10-story building and increased its likelihood to make impact with the moon.
Asteroids’ orbits around the sun may put them in collision paths with inner planets. We may have had a near-miss, but asteroids can pass by the Earth undetected.
Despite a brief panic, asteroid 2024 YR4 isn't likely to hit us anytime soon, but we can still study the asteroid up close to help us understand these space rocks.
