Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

The space rock will make its closest approach—at a cosmically slight 183,000 miles from our planet—later today, according to the space agency.

The 55-feet-wide space rock is hurtling through space at a zippy 17,717 miles per hour, according to the space agency.

Although it won’t hit Earth, an asteroid once labeled a “city killer” is now back in the spotlight — this time, because it might hit the moon.

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists' minds. It now poses a threat to the moon, rather than Earth.

Any uncertainty in the calculation of the object’s orbit causes variations in the predicted solution. Instead of one precise orbit, the calculation usually gives scientists a cloud of its possible ...

In the new study, researchers set out to calculate just how likely it is that an asteroid could hit Earth during the average ...

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight yet still very much on scientists' minds as its revised trajectory is now drawing attention to another possible target: the moon.
