NASA Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Not Hit Earth, Risk Reduced to Zero
NASA has reassured the public that asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses any threat to Earth. Initially, the asteroid had a 1-in-32 chance of impact, making it a Level 3 risk on the Torino Scale. However, new observations have reduced the probability to zero. The asteroid will make close flybys in 2028 and 2032, providing scientists with an opportunity...

NASA Lowers Risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032. Initial estimates placed the impact probability at 1 in 32, but updated calculations have reduced it to just 1 in 360 (0.28 percent). Experts believe the risk will continue to decline as more data is collected. Despite being the riskiest asteroid on NASA’s Sentry ...

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...

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...

Our Solar System Likely to Remain Stable for the Next 1,00,000 Years, Study Says
Our solar system will be stable for the next 1,00,000 years according to researchers. Mathematicians from the University of Sofia have revealed that the orbits of bodies in our solar system are unlikely to be affected for a long period of time - nearly a 100 millennia. The researchers covered a smaller scale to improve the reliability of their find...

NASA, ESA, JAXA to Soon Scale Up Documentation of Changes in Environment, Society on Earth
NASA in association with ESA (European Space Agency) and JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) will document and expand resources and understand a wider range of changes that are taking place in the environment and human society around the globe. The dashboard will include six areas of focus — atmosphere, agriculture, biomass, water and oce...

'Mild and Moderate' Geomagnetic Solar Storms to Hit Earth Today: NOAA, British Met Office
Earth could be slammed by a series of small geomagnetic storms today (March 15), as per US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the British Met Office. Based on NOAA's five-level solar storm scale (G5 being the most extreme), the storm was classified as a G1 on Tuesday (March 15). The aurora borealis — a beautiful ligh...
