Asteroid 2024 YR4, a celestial body roughly the size of a small building, has captured global attention due to its potential to strike Earth in 2032. Although the probability of impact remains low, the asteroid’s trajectory has prompted scientists worldwide to refine data and assess potential risks.

A newly discovered space rock zoomed safely by Earth on Wednesday (Oct. 15) at only about a quarter of the average distance to the moon.

2025 PN7 is a small, dim asteroid that appears to orbit Earth, according to EarthSky. Believed to be a piece of the moon that blasted out, the object has been in its orbit as a quasi-moon for about 60 years and is expected to continue for another 60 years or so years before drifting away.

Contrary to online rumors, Earth still only has one true moon, but astronomers have discovered a so-called 'quasi-moon.' Here's what it is.

Astronomers have discovered asteroid 2025 SC79, a skyscraper-sized space rock orbiting the sun in just 128 days. the second-fastest known.

The discovery of a new asteroid in the Earth's orbit around the sun has led to chatter that it's a second moon.

The Earth often gets a few visitors in the solar system, but some stick around for a while. Here's what to know about the 'quasi-moon.'

An asteroid just flew closer to Earth than many satellites, according to space agencies. The space object, named 2025 TF, zoomed over Antarctica at a distance of just 265 miles above the Earth's surface last Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 8:47 p.m. ET, the European Space Agency said on Monday. The International Space Station orbits at a similar altitude.

Scientists have confirmed the discovery of a new quasi-moon, 2025 PN7, a small asteroid that will shadow Earth’s orbit for more than a century before being pulled away by the sun’s gravity, according to a September study from the American Astronomical Society.

Sixty-six million years ago, life on Earth was paid a visit by a very unwelcome guest: the Chicxulub impactor, an asteroid that infamously wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs. The state of dinosaurs before this unfortunate end,
