Earth, asteroid

'Large' asteroid's odds of hitting Earth went up. But not why you think.
It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.
Here’s what an MIT scientist says about the asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032
Astronomers will have more information later this spring about the asteroid's path and its likelihood of hitting Earth.
There’s a tiny chance the asteroid headed for Earth could hit the moon
