NASA is evaluating a last-resort option that sounds like science fiction: a potential nuclear strike against an asteroid known as 2024 YR4. Originally flagged as a possible Earth impact risk, updated ...

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will provide insights far more precisely than ground telescopes can manage now, as the rock is too far away for most Earth-based instruments.

The space rock has a 4.3% chance of striking the Moon in six years—and it could generate a flash nearly as bright as Venus. Reading time 2 minutes A large rocky asteroid will make a close approach to ...

On December 22, 2032, a sixty-metre-wide asteroid may strike the Moon. If this happens, it will not only produce a visible flash, easily spotted from Earth, but will likely be followed by periodic ...

NASA warns 15,000 mid-sized "city-killer" asteroids remain undetected. DART proved asteroid deflection possible, but no spacecraft currently capable of deflecting an asteroid.

Two NASA scientists claim Earth is at risk from over 25,000 unknown asteroids that are yet to be discovered. If one of them moves towards the planet, no amount of preparation or a mission like DART ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a small chance of hitting the Moon in 2032, to refine its trajectory and improve prediction models.
