After months of tracking and refining Asteroid 2024 YR4's orbit, NASA scientists were able to rule out an Earth strike. There's no real risk to the planet in seven years or afterward, according to the ...

Asteroid 2025 KX8, about the size of a small jet, will make a close approach to Earth on June 4, 2025. While it poses no immediate threat, scientists are closely monitoring its trajectory.

The firm further elaborates on the construction and movement, stating, “By placing a large asteroid into orbit over Earth, a high-strength cable can be lowered towards the surface of Earth, from which ...

A radical architectural proposal by New York-based Clouds Architecture Office envisions the world’s tallest building — suspended from an orbiting asteroid — capable of hovering over cities like New ...

Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid thought to be around 12 kilometers (7.4 miles) in diameter impacted the Earth, forming a crater 200 kilometers (120 miles) in diameter, and 1 kilometer (0. ...

The asteroid will swing past Earth again in 2028, when final observations can be made ahead of the 2032 pass. An asteroid of similar size to 2024 YR4 collides with Earth every few thousand years.

UPDATE Feb. 24, 2025: With new observations over the weekend, the odds of 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 have declined to 0.0039 percent — effectively eliminating concerns about that encounter ...

NASA has downgraded the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 to 1.5 per cent, or 1-in-67, down from a high of a 1-in-32 chance, which was the highest odds yet of collision. Astronomers ...
