An asteroid that, until a few months ago, was believed to be a threat to Earth is increasingly looking like it could crash into the Moon in 2032.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially considered a potential threat to Earth, is now more likely to hit the moon in 2032. The asteroid, about the size of a 10-story building, has a 4.3% chance of lunar ...

The asteroid, with a diameter of about 950 feet will come close enough to Earth on Friday to warrant astronomers keeping a close eye on it.

The Lucy spacecraft will observe the asteroid Donaldjohanson on Sunday afternoon, before it moves on to study a handful of Jupiter trojans starting in 2027.

The asteroid that once had a small chance of striking Earth and now might slam into the moon resembles a spinning hockey puck, scientists said Tuesday.
