If a huge asteroid smashes into the Moon in 2032, the gigantic explosion would send debris streaming towards Earth that would threaten satellites and create a spectacular meteor shower, according ...

If the asteroid hit the side of the moon facing Earth — which is roughly a 50% chance — up to 10% of this debris could be pulled in by Earth’s gravity over the following days, they said.

As a result, the asteroid’s probability of impacting the Moon has slightly increased from 3.8% to 4.3%. In the small chance that the asteroid were to impact, it would not alter the Moon’s orbit.

Earth is safe from asteroid 2024 YR4, but fresh looks at the space rock using Webb and other telescopes have now increased its chances of impacting the Moon. After a brief stint as the highest ...

NASA have issued a disturbing and unexpected update on the 'city destroying' asteroid that could plummet towards the moon in the coming years. Many updates have come out regarding the 'city destroying ...

What was once dubbed a potential "city-killer" asteroid for Earth now has its sights redefined. New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) increase the odds of a collision with ...
