The fastest asteroid to pass within 1 LD of Earth in 2023 was 2023 TK 15 that passed Earth with a velocity with respect to Earth of 21.95 km/s (49,100 mph), [4] while the slowest bypass within lunar distance was that of 2023 XQ 16 at a velocity with respect to Earth of 3.16 km/s (7,100 mph). [5]
The location of 2024 YR4 qualifies it not just as any asteroid, but a near-Earth object (NEO). NEOs are defined as asteroids that hug the inner solar system, where we live, coming within 1.3 ...
According to Nasa's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, Asteroid 2024 YR4 has fallen off the Torino scale after recent observations. The impact probability dropped to 0.0017% or 1-in-59,000 odds ...
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) was a NASA space mission aimed at testing a method of planetary defense against near-Earth objects (NEOs). [4] [5] It was designed to assess how much a spacecraft impact deflects an asteroid through its transfer of momentum when hitting the asteroid head-on. [6]
