In 2021, NASA gave the all-clear to another potentially worrisome asteroid, Apophis, after new telescope observations ruled out any chance of it hitting Earth in 2068. Should we worry about asteroid 2024 YR4? It’s way too soon to fret over this asteroid, according to the experts. “No...
The asteroid, Asteroid 2024 YR4, which was first spotted by telescopes on Dec. 27, now has a 0.004 percent chance of hitting the planet and is “expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032,” NASA said in aMonday update. The asteroid previously had a “very small, but notable chance” o...
The highest estimate, by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, suggested a 3.1% chance the asteroid will hit Earth on Dec. 22, 2032, during a fleeting window of time in which the rock's orbit around the sun intersects the path of the planet. That would make the odds of a collision still ...
“The probability is increasing,” says Juan Luis Cano, planetary defense coordinator at ESA’s Near-Earth Object Coordination Center. And that might pose an interesting dilemma. 撞击的可能性仍然很低。“有99%的概率它会错过地球,这也是我们预期的情况,”NASA喷气推进实验室近地天体研究中心的科学家...
Still, NASA tracks close approaches and calculates the odds of those space rocks — including asteroids, meteors and meteorites — impacting Earth. "The majority of near-Earth objects have orbits that don't bring them very close to Earth, and therefore pose no risk of impact, but a small fr...
According to CNN, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Center for Near-Earth Object Studies recently stated that an asteroid, named 2024 YR4, has on average a 2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. ...
Hollywood has made many sci-fi movies about asteroids(小行星) crashing into Earth and destroying us all. The U.S. space agency NASA may have an answer to this end-of-the-world possibility. It has tested a spacecraft ...
A newly detected asteroid has a very small chance of impacting the Earth in 2046, Nasa tweeted on Tuesday. NASA在周二上午发推特表示:一个最新探测到的小行星有非常小的概率在2046年撞击地球。 If it does hit, the asteroid, roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool, may arrive on Valentine'...
Paul Chodas, manager for the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, or CNEOS, at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. That’s not even close to the size of the “planet-killer” asteroid that slammed into Earth 66 million years ago and led to the...
Will the Asteroid Hit Earth in 2022?Watch out!(小心) An asteroid(小行星) known as JF1 is coming towards Earth. The rock is as big as the Great Pyramid of Giza(吉萨金字塔) in Egypt.According to NASA(美国国家航空航天局),it could hit Earth on May 6, 2022.If this is true, it will...
