The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 hit a record high. ... Hawaii's asteroid impact alert system captured the motion of asteroid 2024 YR4 over the course of one hour on ...
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 ...
Over the weekend, the asteroid also dropped to a ranking of 0 out of 10 on the Torino Impact Hazard Scale, a tool for categorizing potential collisions of space objects with Earth. The ranking ...

A large asteroid known as 2024 YR4 has grabbed headlines this week as scientists first raised its chances of hitting earth, then lowered them. The latest estimate says the object has a 0.28% ...
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 ...
Due to Earth's escape velocity, the minimum impact velocity is 11 km/s with asteroid impacts averaging around 17 km/s on the Earth. [22] The most probable impact angle is 45 degrees. [22] Impact conditions such as asteroid size and speed, but also density and impact angle determine the kinetic energy released in an impact event.
An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory. A newly discovered asteroid ...
