NASA gives all clear on 'city-killer' asteroid

'City-killer' asteroid could smash into MOON as Nasa warns probability of impact set to rise further
Nasa has predicted that a Big Ben-sized asteroid could hit the Moon and has given odds for the destructive collision. The space agency had previously feared the chance of a collision with Earth could reach 20 per cent by April.
NASA releases new details on ‘city killer’ asteroid — and the moon may be at risk of being struck
After two months of observations, NASA scientists have officially declared Earth safe from “city killer” asteroid 2024 YR4. On Tuesday, the space agency recently placed space rock’s impact probability at just 0.
‘City-killer’ asteroid had 20% chance of hitting Earth, Nasa feared but now it’s likelier to strike MOON in horror smash
NASA has said Earth will likely be spared by a deadly Big Ben-sized asteroid and predicts it could smash into the Moon instead in a dramatic collision. The space agency feared the chance of a
Asteroid 2024 YR 4 no longer has chance of hitting Earth in 2032, says NASA
“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. The European Space Agency shared a similar risk assessment of its own Tuesday, finding that the probability was .001%.
'City-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon instead of us, scientists say
YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.
Odds of 'city killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 fall once again, now to 0.28%, NASA says
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth have fallen once again, now to 0.28%, NASA announced on Thursday.
Nasa feared giant asteroid had 20pc chance of hitting Earth
Risk to planet from 2024 YR4, a football pitch-sized space rock, has been ‘significantly’ downgraded … but the Moon may still suffer a hit
Odds of asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 fall. What scientists now say about 2024 YR4
Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 dropped to near zero, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.
Earth is safe from asteroid 2024 YR4 but could hit the Moon
Earth is no longer on a collision course with asteroid 2024 YR4, but it could potentially collide with the Moon. After weeks of observation, NASA and the European Space Agency confirmed that the asteroid no longer poses a threat to Earth.
