NASA Tracking Bus-Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth Today
NASA is tracking a bus-sized asteroid zipping past the Earth at nearly 16,000 miles per hour today. The asteroid, known as "2025 DM7," is estimated to be about 42 feet across and soared past our planet this morning at a distance of about 294,
NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 not a threat to Earth. But the moon is still in the region of uncertainty
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth in 2032 through recent calculations. The moon however, may not be in the clear.
Asteroid 2024 YR 4 no longer has chance of hitting Earth in 2032, says NASA
NASA announced Monday that the asteroid, named 2024 YR 4, no longer poses a “significant threat” to Earth in 2032 or beyond. “NASA analysis drops asteroid 2024 YR4's impact probability to 0.004%, meaning it is expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032,” NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office posted on X Monday.
Odds of asteroid YR4 2024 hitting Earth in 2032 go up, then down again, in latest NASA analysis
YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.
Will an asteroid hit Earth? Likely not. NASA gives 'all clear' as odds fall to near zero
The space rock caused quite a stir after astronomers first spotted it last year on a trajectory bringing it uncomfortably close to Earth in 2032.
NASA reduces likelihood of asteroid impacting earth to 1.5%
NASA said Wednesday that new data collected overnight cut the probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth to 1.5%. The chances of impact had been 3.1%.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses significant threat to Earth in 2032, NASA's latest analysis determines
The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies previously projected a 3% chance of the asteroid striking our planet before lowering the chance to 0.28% last week.
NASA 'Significantly' Lowers the Odds of 2024 YR4 Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032
The asteroid, which was first reported in December 2024 and is large enough to destroy an entire city, was initially calculated to have a 1% chance of hitting the Earth in the year 2032. By Feb. 7, the odds had more than doubled to 2.3% — a percentage that experts called “uncommon.”
Asteroid could hit Earth in 2032, but NASA lowers impact probability to 0.3%
Astronomers are keeping a close watch on asteroid 2024 YR4. This asteroid has a small probability of impacting the Earth in December of 2032.

The asteroid is hurtling towards us at a zippy 15,000 miles per hour, according to the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the Moon
Earth is no longer on a collision course with asteroid 2024 YR4, but it could potentially collide with the Moon.
