Asteroid could impact Earth on Valentine's Day 23 years from now One astronomer said he believes there's about a "1 in 400 chance" the asteroid could impact Earth. Mar 9, 2023 Asteroid hits Earth just hours after discovery The 1-meter asteroid was discovered just hours before it hit...
Astronomers identified a potentially hazardous asteroid traveling 38,700 mph, measuring between 130 and 300 feet wide, and a slim chance of hitting Earth.
There is a chance - albeit a small one - that an asteroid could hit planet Earth within the next decade. There is an estimated 3.1% chance that the 2024 YR4 asteroid hits Earth, but how worried should we really be? This Podcast discusses the potential threat of asteroid. Experts, includi...
The near-miss 1998 OR2 might not pose a threat, but many scientists agree it's only a matter of time before a huge asteroid collides with Earth. Cardiff University scientist Ian McDonald told BBC Today, "Doomsday asteroid hits aren't confined to the past. There are always rocks flying th...

When an asteroid hits Earth, when it slams into Earth's crust, we think that causes molten rock from deep below the surface to rise up into the impact area. Sort of like if you bump your head, you get a big lump under the skin. Fluid makes the area swell. Anyway, the material ...
Planetary stations are optical illusions, created by the triangulation between Earth, the sun, and any third celestial body (nothing ever actually reverses course in the cosmos), but astrologically, they represent important power points where the energies embodied by that planet imbue a particular ...
