Nuclear missiles, the DART mission and space lasers have been floated as potential solutions to the YR4 asteroid.

An asteroid could hit Earth, but scientists are continuing to gather data to understand its trajectory and potential impact to Earth.

Although the chances of impact are slim, Bennu is still one of the most potentially hazardous known asteroids in our solar system, and we need to be prepared for what could come. A first-of-its-kind study simulated the planet-wide damage that would be caused by Bennu’s unlikely impact,

The likelihood of a giant asteroid striking Earth in 2032 has increased, According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid 2024 YR now carries a 2.3% chance of collision, up from the previously estimated 1.3% in December.

A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant chance of impacting planet Earth in 7 years. The animation, provided by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial Impact Last Alert System (ATLAS),

A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause on Earth.

Days after it was confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1-in-83 chance of colliding with Earth, American space agency, Nasa has charted the course of its orbit and the object's trajectory in space. Nasa's Center of Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is tracking the asteroid and has already prepared its projected orbit that brings it in extreme proximity to Earth.
