Science News: Asteroid 2024 YR4, though not an Earth threat, now poses a collision risk to the Moon. Scientists estimate a 4.3% chance of impact, potentially ejecti ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken another look at the potential "city-killer" asteroid 2024 YR4 and found its chances of hitting the moon in December 2032 have increased to 4.3%.

NASA says the asteroid is somewhere between 174 to 220 feet (53 to 67 metres) in diameter, or about the size of a 10-story building. Previous estimations said the space rock was between 131 and ...

The asteroid is about 40 to 90 meters (130 to 300 feet) wide. Will asteroid 2024 YR4 hit the Earth in 2032? As of now, there is no significant impact risk posed by the asteroid in 2032.

NASA has confirmed asteroid 2025 MM is approaching. The asteroid measures nearly 120 feet across—about the size of a small aircraft. It is expected to make its closest approach on 1 July.
