Asteroid 2024 YR4 initially had a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but NASA revised the probability to almost zero. However, observations now suggest a 2% chance of it striking the moon ...

A “city killer” asteroid experts feared was on a crash course with Earth is now expected to miss the planet — but it still has a chance of smashing into the moon. Asteroid 2024 YR4 ...

The possibility of “city-killing” asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth is no longer a threat, but it could strike the moon, according to scientists. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST ...
