It is expected to zoom by our planet at an estimated distance of around 56,000 miles (90,000km) late on Monday night.

Back in 2022, NASA deliberately smashed a spacecraft into a small asteroid'moonlet' that orbited a larger space rock. The probe, called Dart, successfully changed the path of the moonlet, called Dimorphos, around its parent asteroid, Didymos. The mission was hailed as the first-ever successful demonstration of planetary defence, proving humanity can alter an asteroid's trajectory. But now, scientists have revealed the test also knocked both asteroids off their regular orbit around the Sun.
Phew! NASA confirms 'city destroying' asteroid will narrowly MISS the moon in 2032 - skimming 13,200 miles past the lunar surface

NASA confirms'city destroying' asteroid will narrowly MISS the moon in 2032 - skimming 13,200 miles past the lunar surface READ MORE: NASA admits there are thousands of'city killer' asteroids in space Good news from NASA - an asteroid previously predicted to be on a collision course with the moon will miss it after all. Since December 2024, the US space agency has been tracking the'city-killer' asteroid, dubbed '2024 YR4', as it whizzes towards us. The 220ft space rock initially set alarm bells ringing as early measurements suggested it had a one in 32 chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Further analysis at the end of last year then suggested the moon had a four per cent chance of taking the hit. However, we can finally breathe a sign of relief.
World's largest digital camera spots massive asteroid
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Astronomers have spotted an asteroid the size of nearly eight football fields, with the help of the largest digital camera in the world and a new space observatory. Asteroid 2025 MN45 measures about a half mile in diameter and is the fastest spinning asteroid of its size ever recorded. The team from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and United States Department of Energy (DOE) presented their findings in . To spot this asteroid, the team used the cutting-edge Vera C. Rubin Observatory .
NASA telescope will hunt down 'city killer' asteroids
On a commercial thoroughfare in old town Pasadena, California, a stone's throw from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), you'll find the Neon Retro Arcade. Among its collection of vintage video games is the 1979 Atari classic Asteroids, in which a pixelated spaceship shoots down a barrage of space rocks to stave off fatal collisions. After long days of work at JPL, Amy Mainzer used to rack up high scores on that console. "It was a hoot," she says. It was also apt, considering she oversees a space mission designed to spot dangerous asteroids before they crash into Earth. That mission, the Near-Earth Object (NEO) Surveyor, was conceived in the early 2000s and finally got the green light in 2022. Its components are now being built, tested, and assembled in clean rooms across the United States ahead of its planned launch in September 2027. "We're in the thick of building everything," says Mainzer, NEO Surveyor's principal investigator and now an astronomer at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Voyager 1 is almost one light-day from Earth
The intrepid spacecraft will cross a major distance milestone in November 2026. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Voyager 1 is one of humanity's most poignant and remarkable technological achievements. Over the course of its nearly half century odyssey, the probe has glimpsed the gas giant Saturn, passed the threshold for interstellar space, and continually sets the bar for our furthest traveling human-made object. But based on NASA's projections, Voyager 1 is less than a year away from reaching yet another milestone.
The Download: the AGI myth, and US/China AI competition
I hear it's close: two years, five years--maybe next year! And I hear it's going to solve our biggest problems in ways we cannot yet imagine. I also hear it will bring on the apocalypse and kill us all We're of course talking about artificial general intelligence, or AGI--that hypothetical near-future technology that (I hear) will be able to do pretty much whatever a human brain can do. Every age has its believers, people with an unshakeable faith that something huge is about to happen--a before and an after that they are privileged (or doomed) to live through. For us, that's the promised advent of AGI. And here's what I think: AGI is a lot like a conspiracy theory, and it may be the most consequential one of our time.
Astronomers Have Discovered Earth's Latest Quasi-Lunar Moon
Astronomers Have Discovered Earth's Latest Quasi-Lunar Moon As mankind was planning the first moon landing in the 1960s, an asteroid approached Earth--and still hasn't left. The Earth has just added its seventh confirmed quasi-lunar moon. It is 2025 PN7, a small Apollo-type asteroid detected in August solely by its brightness, thanks to the Hawaiian Pan-STARRS 1 telescope. After analyzing its trajectory, scientists concluded that the object maintains a 1:1 resonance with the Earth. From a distant perspective, this synchronicity makes it look as if the Earth is accompanied by a tiny asteroid--as if it had an additional moon.
