Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) was a program run by NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, surveying the sky for near-Earth objects.NEAT was conducted from December 1995 until April 2007, at GEODSS on Hawaii (Haleakala-NEAT; 566), as well as at Palomar Observatory in California (Palomar-NEAT; 644).
2024 YR 4 is an asteroid between 40 and 100 metres (130 and 330 ft) in diameter, classified as an Apollo-type (Earth-crossing) near-Earth object.It was discovered by the Chilean station of the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on 27 December 2024.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032, NASA reports. Astronomers all over the world are watching the asteroid, trying to narrow down its future path.
An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.
The asteroid with the greatest chance of impacting Earth in 2025 is 2009 VA (6-meters in diameter) with less than a 1-day observation arc. [8] It has a 1:48,000 chance of impact on 06 November 2023, but was expected to be around 0.3 AU (45 million km ) from Earth on that date.
The longer astronomers track an asteroid, the more clearly defined its orbit becomes. Within a few months, scientists were able to rule out the possibility of a 2029 strike. Within a few years ...
Near Earth Space Surveillance (NESS), [8] led by Principal Investigator Alan Hildebrand of the University of Calgary, uses NEOSSat to search for and track near-Earth asteroids inside Earth's orbit around the Sun, including asteroids in the Aten and Atira classes. These asteroids are particularly difficult to detect from the surface of the Earth ...
