While Asteroid 2024 YRA has a minute chance of hitting Earth in seven years, the co-lead of NASA's DART mission says a small spacecraft could deflect the space rock's course.

Neither Dimorphos nor Didymos poses a danger to Earth. Still, the double-asteroid system was a perfect target on which to test deflection technology because Dimorphos’ size is comparable to ...

The asteroid warning network is affiliated with the United Nations. Officials activate the IAWN when an asteroid bigger than ...

If the risk increases, this might mean a a kinetic impactor mission, like the extremely successful NASA DART mission which altered the orbit of Dimorphos, the small moon of asteroid Didymos ...

It was initially believed the asteroid, first detected on December 27, had about a 1 percent chance of colliding with Earth, but by Thursday, that chance had risen to 2.3 percent. On Wednesday, NASA ...
