A potentially catastrophic asteroid, dubbed a “city killer”, is on a collision course with the Moon, and scientists warn the impact could have dangerous ripple effects for Earth. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, no longer poses a direct threat to our planet, but NASA has identified a 4.3% chance of it striking the lunar surface…
Asteroid 2024 YR4 is not expected to strike Earth, but more and more, scientists worry that it could collide with the Moon. According to the experts at the University of Western Ontario caution that such an impact would hurl more than 100 million kilograms of rubbish into space. This fast-moving lunar material can be a…
एस्टेरॉयड 2024 YR4 एक 53 से 67 मीटर के डायमीटर वाला अंतरिक्षीय पिंड है, जो वैज्ञानिकों की निगरानी में है. यह आकार उस एस्टेरॉयड जितना है जिसने 1908 में रूस के तुंगुस्का क्षेत्र में भारी तबाही मचाई थी. विशेषज्ञों के अनुसार, अगर यह धरती से टकराता तो एक पूरे शहर का अस्तित्व खतरे में पड़…
Asteroid 2024 YR4:NASA James Webb Space Telescope recent observations reveal the potential that asteroid 2024 YR4 could be a small yet growing risk of collision, despite being no threat to the Moon. The new data reveals the potential danger to the lunar surface, prompting increased scientific interest in the asteroid’s trajectory. The Moon remains under…
Astronomers have found a cluster of giant asteroids co-orbiting the Sun with Venus—space rocks that might become a long-term hazard for Earth. These are not ordinary asteroids. Sometimes referred to as city killers because of their size, many are bigger than 140 meters; they are big enough to wipe out a whole urban centre upon…
Looking up at the sky can stir wonder—and sometimes, that awe is justified. A small asteroid is making a close approach to Earth, prompting careful monitoring by scientists. While there is no immediate threat, astronomers are tracking its path for any unexpected changes. This near-Earth object serves as a reminder of how active our solar…
A massive asteroid named 2025 JR is drawing global attention as it speeds toward Earth for a close encounter. Roughly the size of a 25-storey building, the space rock is set to make its nearest approach on Wednesday, May 28. While it will safely bypass Earth at a distance of 4.6 million kilometers, that proximity…
A massive asteroid 2003 MH4 is to flyby Earth in a high-speed visit on May 24 at 4:07 PM IST. Designated 387746 (2003 MH4), the huge space rock has a diameter of about 335 meters—about the size of the Eiffel Tower—and will fly by Earth at a speed of 30,060 kilometres per hour.This flyby, although…
Asteroid Vesta, once thought to be a protoplanet that had been left behind in its formation, is now the subject of a groundbreaking investigation of what may be a remnant of a far larger planet that was present in the early solar system. New research, spearheaded by scientists at Michigan State University and published in…
Asteroid 2003 MH4, nearly three football fields long, is set to sweep past Earth around 24 May 2025. Its size and speed have caught the attention of scientists, raising concerns despite no immediate threat. The asteroid’s close flyby has prompted NASA‘s planetary defense teams to monitor it closely, ensuring any potential risk is quickly assessed….
