This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance, which are cataloged by the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). [1]
Three years later, in 2012, the 40 meter diameter asteroid 367943 Duende was discovered and successfully predicted to be on close but non-colliding approach to Earth again just 11 months later. This was a landmark prediction as the object was only 20 m × 40 m , and it was closely monitored as a result.
2024 YR 4 is an asteroid with an estimated diameter of 40 to 90 metres (130 to 300 ft) that is classified as an Apollo-type (Earth-crossing) near-Earth object.From 27 January to 20 February 2025, it had an impact rating of 3 on the Torino scale, with a maximum estimated probability of 3.1% that it would impact Earth on 22 December 2032.
On Feb. 18, NASA scientists predicted a 3.1% chance of the asteroid hitting our planet on Dec. 22, 2032. ... "For something like that to hit the Earth is very, very rare," said Stephan Martin, an ...
The asteroid YR4's chances of impact now surpass the odds that Apophis once had of colliding with Earth when it was first discovered in 2004. Fortunately, the 130 to 300-foot asteroid is much ...
An asteroid nearly the size of a football field now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, NASA says — with the space agency saying it "no longer poses a significant ...
On Sunday, 2025 BU, which JPL describe as being about the size of a house, at around 54 feet in length, is predicted to pass within 2.1 million miles of Earth, according to Asteroid Watch.
Trajectory of 2004 FH in the Earth–Moon system Goldstone radar images of asteroid 2007 PA 8 's Earth flyby in 2012. This is a list of examples where an asteroid or meteoroid travels close to the Earth. Some of these objects are regarded as potentially hazardous objects if they are estimated to be large enough to cause regional devastation.
