The hefty asteroid 2024 YR4, once feared to hit Earth on December 22, 2032, could instead hit the moon, it is thought. New intel from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has suggested that the ...

Asteroid metal mining is a bold new step. It pulls valuable stuff like platinum, nickel, cobalt, and gold from space rocks. Unlike Earth mining, it uses high-tech robots, AI, and self-flying ...

While we can't be certain, the analysis could not rule out an asteroid with a rocky composition. If this is the case, the researchers calculated, an impact with Earth would release energy between ...

YR4, previously dreaded to crash into Earth, is no longer a risk after fresh information altered its path, but it has a 2% possibility of hitting the Moon.

The early calculations predicted an impact probability of 1.3% with Earth on December 22nd, 2032, and estimated its size to be between 40 and 90 meters. These estimates gave the asteroid a Torino ...

But fear not, the Webb Space Telescope just re-confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a nearly 0% probability of crashing into Earth. That said, astronomers are unable to rule out a possible impact ...

While the asteroid is no longer considered a significant threat to Earth, new calculations suggest a small but notable chance of a lunar impact, according to observations from the James Webb Space ...
