A paper from several NASA scientists and other researchers explores whether an asteroid with a 4% chance of hitting the moon ...

A team of researchers has put forth the idea of launching nuclear devices at asteroid 2024 YR4 with a chance of hitting the moon in 2032.

This possibility also raises concerns about Earth’s safety. Although it is unlikely that the ejected debris would reach our planet—considering the Moon’s gravity and the vast distances involved—any ...

Scientists are closely monitoring a potential asteroid impact on the moon, specifically asteroid 2024 YR4, which could ...

NASA could soon trial a new defence strategy to prevent a giant asteroid hurtling towards the Moon and posing a huge risk to astronauts. It comes after NASA intentionally used a spacecraft to bump ...

Astronomers are considering blowing up the “city killer” asteroid, estimated to have a small chance of crashing onto the Moon ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a chance of hitting the moon. To save it from collision, scientists are considering launching a nuclear ...

A GIANT asteroid that risks crashing into the Moon could be nuked before it makes impact. Scientists are looking into the possibility of destroying the so-called “city-killer” asteroid ...

Astronomers have identified a skyscraper-sized asteroid, 2025 SC79, orbiting incredibly close to the Sun and at a near-record ...

After mulling several different solutions, scientists have devised an unconventional method to stop the “city killer” space rock from hitting the moon — by blowing it up with nukes.
