The near-Earth asteroid 2025 BC10 will pass safely near our planet on Saturday (April 5). The Virtual Telescope Project will livestream views of the asteroid's close approach online.

Astronomers have gotten a glimpse of the "city-killer" asteroid before it disappears until 2028, according to NASA.

NASA's Webb telescope has captured pictures of the asteroid that caused a stir earlier this year when it topped Earth's hit list.

YR4 was classified in February at Level 3 on the Torino Scale prompting the UN to activate the Planetary Security Protocol for the first time.

YR4, once referred to as a ‘city-killer’ with the potential to cause regional devastation and impact the climate, is no longer predicted to hit Earth in 2032. Earlier, experts warned it had enough force to destroy an entire city.

The most significant asteroid so far to hit Earth was 66 million years ago. The mountain-size asteroid struck South America and left a crater off the coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, which measured 93 miles wide and 12 miles deep.

YR4 initially had a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but NASA revised the probability to almost zero. However, observations now su

An huge asteroid that was briefly feared to strike Earth now has a nearly four percent chance of smashing into the Moon, according to new data from the James Webb
