NASA has announced that an asteroid about 200 feet in diameter is now slightly more likely to crash into the moon.

The next big space threat isn't to Earth. It's to the Moon.

The new study finds that in 2135, Bennu will come within about 123,000 miles of Earth’s surface, give or take 6,000 miles, a much more precise range than previous estimates.

The impact probability describes how likely a hazardous asteroid is to hit Earth. For example, if the impact probability is 1%, it means that in 1 of 100 cases, it hits Earth.

When a space rock the size of a small building gets a little too close for comfort, scientists everywhere pay attention. In late 2024, astronomers spotted a new asteroid named 2024 YR4.

YR4 might collide with the Moon in 2031, with a 4.3% chance of impact, according to NASA's updated calculations.
