A mission to survey the results of a deliberate crash between an asteroid and a NASA spacecraft has taken stunning images of ...

What happens when NASA crashes a spacecraft into an asteroid? Scientists thought they knew, but the results of the DART mission left them baffled! What went wrong? Watch to find out!

YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.

But both percentages rise above the 2.7% chance of collision once associated with an asteroid discovered in 2004 called Apophis, making 2024 YR4 the most significant space rock to be spotted ...

A Bennu-type asteroid could lead to “severe environmental consequences,” researchers write, while acknowledging that a collision is not likely.

YR4 has a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but as astronomers make more observations about its trajectory, the odds of ...

Once, a very long time ago, a massive asteroid hit the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. In addition to functionally ...

YR4, which orbits the sun every four years and periodically crosses Earth's orbit. The nature of its orbit makes it a ...

The space rock, which measures 150 feet across and is traveling at 38,922 miles per hour, is one of five on NASA's radar.

YR4 became the highest-rated asteroid predicted to strike Earth, and although predictions for impact have lowered, not enough ...

Once the new measurements were taken and the math was done, the probability of YR4 hitting the Earth began to decline, ...

NASA’s DART mission tested asteroid deflection. Scientists analyzed ejecta patterns, momentum transfer, and deflection ...
