Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Moon

NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 not a threat to Earth. But the moon is still in the region of uncertainty
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth in 2032 through recent calculations. The moon however, may not be in the clear.
Odds of asteroid YR4 2024 hitting Earth in 2032 go up, then down again, in latest NASA analysis
YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.
Odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth drop from record high, NASA says of 'city killer'
NASA announced Wednesday that the odds of the up to 300-foot-wide asteroid hitting Earth dropped from record highs. See where they stand
Odds of asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 fall. What scientists now say about 2024 YR4
Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 dropped to near zero, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses significant threat to Earth in 2032, NASA's latest analysis determines
The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies previously projected a 3% chance of the asteroid striking our planet before lowering the chance to 0.28% last week.
Is Asteroid 2024 YR4 going to impact Earth and how much damage would it cause? NASA has the answer
YR4 is between 40 and 90 meters in diameter, about the size of a large apartment block. The asteroid 2024 YR4, discovered in December last year, is moving towards Earth. A NASA expert has answered all the questions related to Asteroid 2024 YR4 that has been dominating headlines.
Asteroid 2024 YR4’s odds of hitting Earth in 2032 are now effectively zero
New data shrank the odds that this asteroid will hit Earth, but astronomers will continue to study it. Here’s what you need to know.
The odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting earth just changed again. This time for the better
Even in the increasingly unlikely event of an impact from YR4, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest appear to be safe from impact. Computer models showed areas of South America, Africa and southeast Asia would have the highest risk in the event of an impact, based on what astronomers know about the asteroid’s orbit.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 is going to miss Earth, but the story doesn’t end there
In reality, even as the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 was moving away, ground-based telescopes were able to gather enough observations to get a better handle on its orbit. So we can safely take a deep breath and return to the more pressing existential problems posed by threats on this planet rather than off-world.
NASA Tracking Bus-Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth Today
NASA is tracking a bus-sized asteroid zipping past the Earth at nearly 16,000 miles per hour today. The asteroid, known as "2025 DM7," is estimated to be about 42 feet across and soared past our planet this morning at a distance of about 294,
Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the Moon
Earth is no longer on a collision course with asteroid 2024 YR4, but it could potentially collide with the Moon.
How "asteroid detectives" are protecting Earth from potential danger
Astronomers believe thousands of large undiscovered asteroids, that could cause regional damage, may be in space.
