NASA telescope to study 'city-killer' asteroid in 'emergency' decision as odds of striking Earth go up
NASA is using its most powerful space telescope to study the true size of the "city-killer" asteroid that has a one-in-43 chance of striking Earth in 2032. Last week, experts bumped up the odds of impact from the space rock, named asteroid 2024 YR4, to 2.3 per cent – up from 1.3 per cent.
Asteroid may hit the moon instead of Earth: NASA
An asteroid originally thought to have a higher chance of colliding with Earth might instead strike the Moon, according to new calculations. NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) had previously estimated that asteroid 2024 YR4 had a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, up from about 1%.
