NASA spots asteroid that could hit Earth in 157 years
A space rock with some history could be on a collision course with Earth, though, to be fair, it's pretty unlikely. Bennu has a 1:2,700 chance of hitting us in 2182.
New NASA imagery shows large asteroid that could impact Earth in 2032
A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.
NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a chance of hitting Earth, scientists actively monitoring
Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.
NASA Announced Increased Chance of Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032. Internet Is Hilariously 'Rooting for the Asteroid'
NASA estimated probability that an asteroid could collide with Earth in 2032 was raised from 1.6% to 1.9%, with the news pulling some dark humor into its orbit.
Scientists find life-friendly molecules in NASA’s asteroid samples
Molecules friendly to life have been found in samples of the asteroid Bennu, which NASA collected with a robotic probe five years ago.
NASA discovers asteroid that's now the most significant threat to Earth
Astronomers identified a potentially hazardous asteroid traveling 38,700 mph, measuring between 130 and 300 feet wide, and a slim chance of hitting Earth.
Chance of Major Asteroid Hitting Earth Is Small, But Going Up
The chance of a major asteroid striking Earth in 2032 heightened to 2.3 percent, but scientists say the likelihood of impact remains very low. Newsweek reached out to NASA for comment via email. NASA is tracking the asteroid,
There's a 2% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's around a 98 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
NASA scientist warns, we can't stop a big asteroid
An asteroid has a one in 83 chance of hitting Earth in just over seven years. While most space rocks pass by harmlessly, this one, known as 2024 YR4, which is about half the size of a football field,
