Huge Asteroid Could Hit Earth in 2032. Here's How We Could Stop It
Nuclear missiles, the DART mission and space lasers have been floated as potential solutions to the YR4 asteroid.
An asteroid could collide with Earth: What could happen if it hits, and should we worry?
An asteroid could hit Earth, but scientists are continuing to gather data to understand its trajectory and potential impact to Earth.
Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032
The asteroid warning network is affiliated with the United Nations. Officials activate the IAWN when an asteroid bigger than 10 meters has a greater than 1 percent chance of striking Earth within the next 20 years. The risk of 2024 YR4 meets this threshold.
The odds of asteroid YR4 hitting Earth have climbed. Should we be worried?
Last week, the European Space Agency (ESA) gave the asteroid a 1.3 per cent chance of hitting the Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) said Thursday that the likelihood of impact has now reached 2.3 per cent.
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu could hit Earth in 157 years and set off a global ‘impact winter,’ study says
Near-Earth asteroid Bennu has a slim chance of colliding with Earth in 2182. If it does, the impact could trigger a global winter that affects our planet for years.
An Asteroid Has a 1-in-63 Chance of Hitting Earth in 2032—Here’s What That Means
A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause on Earth.
Scientists Predict Devastation if Asteroid Bennu Strikes Earth in 2182

Here's what could happen if asteroid Bennu smashes into Earth in 157 years
An asteroid the size of One World Trade Center has a very small chance of crashing into Earth in the year 2182. But what would this impact mean for life on Earth?
NASA's warning as chances of major asteroid collision in seven years increase again
NASA has revealed that the chances of the city-destroying asteroid known as '2024 YR4' hitting Earth when it passes by in 2032 have increased.
