However, if Asteroid 2024 YR4 does hit Earth, most people won’t even know it happened. "This is not a get-worried kind of situation," asteroid and comet expert Teddy Kareta told FOX Weather.

Astronomers have been keeping a close watch on asteroid 2024 YR4 since its detection late last year. While initial observations sparked concern about a potential Earth impact, updated trajectory ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

Although it won’t hit Earth, an asteroid once labeled a “city killer” is now back in the spotlight — this time, because it might hit the moon.

At its peak threat level, 2024 YR4 reached a 3 on the Torino Scale and had an estimated 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, according to NASA. The ESA’s observations reached a peak of a 2.8% risk.

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists' minds. It now poses a threat to the moon, rather than Earth.

Any uncertainty in the calculation of the object’s orbit causes variations in the predicted solution. Instead of one precise orbit, the calculation usually gives scientists a cloud of its possible ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4, deemed the riskiest asteroid on record last week, now has nearly a zero percent chance of impacting Earth in 2032, according to NASA and the European Space Agency.
