Rather, it’s asteroids a size range down—those upwards of 460 feet (140 meters) long—that are of paramount concern. About 25,000 of those are thought to exist close to our planet, and just under half have been found. The day-to-day odds of an impact are extremely low, but even one of the smaller ones in that size range could do significant damage if it found Earth and hit a populated area—a capacity that has led astronomers to dub such midsize asteroids “city killers.” If we find a city killer

Around 66 million years ago, an asteroid between six and ten miles (10 to 15 kilometers) wide slammed into what is now the Gulf of Mexico, leaving behind a massive 90-mile-wide (150 kilometers) crater. The impact killed all non-avian dinosaurs and decimated marine creatures—but may have also boosted life in a peculiar way. A team of international researchers suggests that the asteroid impact created a hydrothermal system within the Chicxulub crater, as it’s officially known, which may have nurt

But Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser says that tariffs did not directly impact the console’s original price tag. “Put [the April 2nd announcement] aside. Any previous tariffs were not factored into the price itself,“ he explained, speaking to me the day after the event. That may be true, but the impact of the April 2nd tariff announcement is already being felt. Just two days after its event, Nintendo announced that it was delaying Switch 2 preorders, which were originally slated to beg

Apple Stores could be rather empty if this actually happened ... The Trump administration yesterday announced punishing import tariffs on a long list of countries, including all of Apple’s key manufacturing hubs. It’s been estimated that this would force the company to either increase US prices by 40% or see its profit slashed by 32%. The news saw stock market slumps around the world, with AAPL stock falling more than 7% in pre-market trading on fears of the impact … Trump’s tariffs Tariffs

Scientists in Australia say they’ve found the world’s oldest impact crater, surpassing the previous record-holder’s age by more than 1.25 billion years. The meteorite impact—in Western Australia’s Pilbara region—dates back 3.5 billion years, while the former record-holding impact crater is just 2.2 billion years old. By far, the Pilbara crater is the oldest known on Earth, the researchers say, and they managed to find it thanks to a distinctive rock formation. The team’s findings are published

The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans. Almost. According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid’s current chance of hitting the planet in 2032 is 0.28%, or a 1-in-360 shot. T

An asteroid discovered late last year is continuing to stir public interest as its odds of striking planet Earth less than eight years from now continue to increase. Two weeks ago, when Ars first wrote about the asteroid, designated 2024 YR4, NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies estimated a 1.9 percent chance of an impact with Earth in 2032. NASA’s most recent estimate has the likelihood of a strike increasing to 3.2 percent. Now that’s not particularly high, but it’s also not zero. Ars

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 3.1 percent chance of colliding with our planet on December 22, 2032. That makes it the highest-threat asteroid ever detected, as Euronews reports. As of late January, the probability was sitting at just 1.3 percent, which then rose to 2.1 percent last week before rising yet again. Worse yet, the space agency suggests the asteroid could hit densely populated areas of our planet — if it were to make an impact just un

It's not great news, but don't panic: Astronomers spotted an asteroid that has a roughly 3.1% chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. Space agencies are monitoring the newly discovered asteroid and still learning more about its size and path, so don't mark your calendar for doomsday just yet. Although the odds of the asteroid hitting Earth have increased recently, that number is not set in stone. There's still a lot to learn about the space rock. Designated 2024 YR4, the asteroid was first
