Chances of asteroid striking Earth in the next decade has nearly doubled, NASA says
The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.
Nasa makes emergency decision on huge asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032
Astronomers have opened up the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to foreign scientists to determine how much damage the asteroid 2024 YR4 will cause if it hits Earth
Is a Big Asteroid Going to Hit Earth in 2032?
No, or at least not because of the 2024 YR asteroid. First off, there is currently only about a one-in-43 chance that this rock hits Earth, and those odds will change (and probably go down) as scientists gather more data on the recently spotted asteroid. A nearly 98 percent chance it won’t hit us is pretty good.
Chances of a big asteroid strike on Earth just doubled. Here’s why you shouldn’t be too worried.
A large asteroid dubbed 2024 YR4 now has a 2.2% chance of hitting the Earth on Dec. 22, 2032, according to NASA and the European Space Agency. That estimate, made Friday, works out to approximately a one-in-45 chance of direct impact, which also means a 44-in-45 chance of a miss.
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System — a global network of telescopes funded by NASA to find Earth-threatening objects — spotted the asteroid 2024 YR4 in December
Scientists taking 'active measures' for asteroid with slight chance of hitting earth.
YR4 has just above a 1% chance of crashing into Earth in 2032, which is why astronomers and space agencies are paying attention to it.
NASA to study "city-killer" asteroid as odds of hitting Earth go up
Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2032.
Here’s what an MIT scientist says about the asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032
Astronomers will have more information later this spring about the asteroid's path and its likelihood of hitting Earth. The post Here’s what an MIT scientist says about the asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032 appeared first on Boston.
NASA observing ‘city-killer’ asteroid en route for Earth
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers study asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a small chance of striking Earth on December 22, 2032.
NASA tracking Asteroid 2024 YR4, which could be heading toward Earth in 2032
Scientists are tracking Asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a small chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. Earth grew an extra, never-before-seen 'radiation belt' after last year's supercharged solar storm
Here are the chances that a newly observed asteroid could hit Earth in 2032
