Moon Also In Danger From Asteroid Projected To Collide With Earth In 2032: Report
The asteroid colliding with the Moon could release energy in upwards of 340 Hiroshima bombs with the spectacle very likely to be "visible from Earth".

James Webb Telescope to Study Potentially Hazardous Asteroid 2024 YR4
Asteroid 2024 YR4, identified in December 2024, has a 2.3% chance of Earth impact in December 2032. Due to uncertainties in ground-based size estimates, JWST will conduct infrared observations in March and May to determine its true dimensions. The European Space Agency estimates its width at 55 metres, but it could be as large as 90 metres. The fin...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 Poses 1-in-43 Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
Asteroid 2024 YR4, identified by NASA, has a 1-in-43 chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032. Measuring approximately 55 metres in diameter, it is not large enough to cause a global catastrophe but could result in significant destruction if it impacts a densely populated area. Scientists estimate the impact could release 8 megatons of e...

This Asteroid Could Hit Earth In 2032, Threatening To Wipe Out A City
NASA has detected an asteroid called 2024 YR4, which has a 1 in 83 chance of impacting Earth in 2032, potentially releasing 8 megatons of energy and devastating a major city, although it's too small to end human civilization.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 Has a Small but Notable Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
NASA scientists are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, a newly discovered 55-metre-wide object with a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. If it collides, it could release energy equivalent to eight megatons of TNT, enough to cause serious regional damage. Currently ranked as a Level 3 threat on the Torino Scale, its classificati...
