Earth Dodges 'City-Killer' Asteroid

Earth Dodges ‘City-Killer’ Asteroid — But NASA Says The Moon Might Not Be So Lucky
NASA’s recent announcement brought relief to millions of people across the globe: Earth is no longer in danger of being struck by asteroid 2024 YR4. This massive space rock, which once posed a serious threat,
NASA releases new details on ‘city-killer’ asteroid — and the moon may be at risk of being struck
The rock tour has officially been canceled. After two months of observations, NASA scientists have officially declared Earth safe from “city-killer” asteroid 2024 YR4.
'City-killer' asteroid could smash into MOON as Nasa warns probability of impact set to rise further
Nasa has predicted that a Big Ben-sized asteroid could hit the Moon and has given odds for the destructive collision. The space agency had previously feared the chance of a collision with Earth could reach 20 per cent by April.
‘City-killer’ asteroid had 20% chance of hitting Earth, Nasa feared but now it’s likelier to strike MOON in horror smash
NASA has said Earth will likely be spared by a deadly Big Ben-sized asteroid and predicts it could smash into the Moon instead in a dramatic collision. The space agency feared the chance of a
'City-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon instead of us, scientists say
YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.
Odds of asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 fall. What scientists now say about 2024 YR4
Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 dropped to near zero, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.
Asteroid 2024 YR 4 no longer has chance of hitting Earth in 2032, says NASA
“NASA analysis drops asteroid 2024 YR4's impact probability to 0.004%, meaning it is expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032,” NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office posted on X Monday. The European Space Agency shared a similar risk assessment of its own Tuesday, finding that the probability was .001%.
NASA reduces likelihood of asteroid impacting earth to 1.5%
NASA said Wednesday that new data collected overnight cut the probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth to 1.5%. The chances of impact had been 3.1%.
