NASA Lowers Impact Probability of Asteroid 2024 YR4 After New Data
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially flagged as a potential threat due to its size and energy potential, has been downgraded after refined observations. NASA now estimates just a 0.28 percent chance of impact in 2032, significantly reducing concerns. The rapid fluctuation in risk assessment was expected, as ongoing astronomical observations provide more pr...

NASA, General Atomics Test Nuclear Fuel for Faster Mars Missions
NASA and General Atomics conducted key tests on nuclear reactor fuel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The fuel was exposed to extreme temperatures to assess its viability for nuclear thermal propulsion. With successful results, the technology could enable faster space travel, reducing risks for astronauts on long-duration missions. NASA and DARPA a...

Asteroid Apophis May Still Have a Small Chance of Hitting Earth in 2029, Study Reveals
Recent simulations suggest a very small chance that asteroid Apophis could be deflected onto a collision course with Earth before its close approach in 2029. Although current data points to a safe pass, the risk remains, especially if another space object were to strike Apophis. The odds are extremely low, but a final verdict won’t be available u...
