It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.

Astronomers are closely monitoring Asteroid 2024 YR4 as it heads towards Earth. Should we be worried about it? Here's what you need to know.

Researchers say there’s a 1.3 percent chance that the space rock 2024 YR4 could strike our planet — but not until December 2032.

An Asteroid that would destroy a city, is making its journey towards Earth, sparking concern for a possible collision.The celestial body, known as Asteroid 2024 YR4 is between 40 to 100 meters in size with a 1.

Astronomers confirmed the object as a near-Earth asteroid, and catalogued it as 2024 YR4. But additional calculations soon raised red flags—its estimated 130-328 feet diameter and potential orbital path meant that,

Astronomers identified a potentially hazardous asteroid traveling 38,700 mph, measuring between 130 and 300 feet wide, and a slim chance of hitting Earth.

On 27 December last year, astronomers using the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile discovered a small asteroid moving away from Earth. Follow up observations have revealed that the asteroid, 2024 YR4, is on a path that might lead to a collision with our planet on 22 December 2032.

A newly discovered asteroid has a tiny chance of smacking Earth in 2032, space agency officials said Wednesday. Scientists put the odds of a strike at slightly more than 1%. “We are not worried at all,

An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.
