New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope confirm asteroid 2024 YR4 will not hit the moon in 2032.
There were concerns that Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon or Earth.
When NASA crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos in 2022, it altered both Dimorphos' orbit around its ...
In September 2022, NASA’s DART spacecraft rammed into the asteroid moonlet Dimorphos at nearly 15,000 miles per hour (24,000 ...
A 2022 NASA mission changed the orbit of the asteroid Dimorphos around its companion. New data shows their joint orbit around ...

New analysis reveals that the DART Mission impact did make a difference and altered the entire binary asteroid’s path around the sun.
New data about the DART spacecraft’s effects adds evidence that Earth could be defended from future deadly asteroids by diverting their orbits.
NASA says Asteroid 2024 YR4, which had a 4% chance of hitting the moon in 2032, is now expected to miss it by 13,000 miles.
NASA has ruled out any chance that an asteroid called 2024 YR4 will hit the moon in 2032. Last year, the uncertainty surrounding the space rock's orbital path held out a slight chance of impact, but ...
