If Asteroid 2024 YR4 were to strike Earth, the energy released could be equivalent to 8 megatons of TNT, capable of devastating an area the size of Washington, D.C. Squid Game season 3 official ...

Nasa's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) and planetary defense teams are vigilantly tracking 2003 MH4’s trajectory ...

NASA said the changes are due to continued observations of the asteroid that allow experts to "calculate more precise models of the asteroid's trajectory." There's now no significant potential for ...

Center for Near-Earth Object Studies were able to calculate more precise models of the asteroid’s trajectory and now have found there is no significant potential for this asteroid to impact our ...

With further observations, experts at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies determined “more precise models” of the asteroid’s trajectory show “there is ...

At present, our best models of the asteroid’s motion have an uncertainty of around 100,000 kilometres in its position at the time it would be closest to Earth. At around 12,000 kilometres in diameter, ...

Based on those observations, astronomers have been able to refine models of the asteroid’s orbit, allowing them to more accurately estimate the space rock’s trajectory. This in turn helps ...

The asteroid’s orbit is still not fully mapped, and current models suggest the most likely scenario is a near miss rather than an impact. David Rankin, an engineer with the Catalina Sky Survey ...

In a bit of ominous news befitting a Friday the 13th: It turns out that the asteroid Apophis could have a very small chance of colliding into Earth in five years, when it is expected to make a ...

Writing in Science Advances, researchers used computer models to assess the potential impacts of a medium-size asteroid collision, noting that there are about 4,900 known medium-size asteroids ...
