Could asteroid mining actually work? Maybe if we start with impact sites on the moon News By Leonard David published 12 July 2025 ...

When NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid moon Dimorphos in September 2022, it didn't just change the asteroid's orbit as intended—it unleashed a massive barrage of boulders that ...

For a short time, the Moon blocked astronomers from tracking the asteroid clearly. The full moon’s brightness made it impossible to detect YR4’s faint signal.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, once the highest impact risk ever recorded, now poses no threat to Earth but has a slightly increased chance of striking the moon in 2032.

At first, asteroid 2024 YR4 seemed like a potential threat to Earth, but that risk has since been greatly reduced. The asteroid is estimated to be between 30 and 65 metres wide. Meanwhile, the chances ...

The city-killer asteroid's Moon impact risk has almost more than doubled, according to new NASA reports. Here's what we know.

The ESA probe spotted the moon while en route to witness the aftermath of NASA's asteroid deflection test.

Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 dropped to near zero, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.
