A rededication to practical science like asteroid detection is overdue. (It is also, not incidentally, the public’s top priority for NASA.) Relatedly, Congress should fund more missions to test ...

NASA gave the all-clear Monday on an asteroid that previously had a chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. The asteroid was first discovered in late 2024 and reported when it surpassed the 1% ...

The potential risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth in 2032 dropped to nearly zero following new observations that helped better predict the asteroid's trajectory.

The precise VLT observations, along with data collected by other observatories, allowed astronomers to more accurately model the asteroid's orbit and assess its impact probability, according to a ...

A so-called "city killer" asteroid scientists have been monitoring after discovering it had a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032 "no longer poses a significant threat," NASA said in its latest ...

In late December of 2024, um, *** NASA funded near Earth asteroid survey, the one that, you know, I operate called Atlas, uh, discovered an asteroid that as it came by the Earth, uh, this time ...
