Nasa's James Webb telescope zeroes in on asteroid that could hit Earth
Nasa is directing the James Webb Space Telescope to track asteroid 2024 YR4, whose collision risk with Earth has risen to 2.3 per cent, in a bid to better understand its size and trajectory
Nasa using world’s most powerful telescope to examine asteroid that could smash into Earth
Scientists will point the world’s most powerful telescope at the asteroid 2024 YR4, in the hope of understanding whether it might pose a threat to Earth.The space rock was found late last last year but the threat of a collision was recently doubled after scientists discovered more information about its route around the solar system.
In emergency decision, James Webb telescope will study 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 before its close approach to Earth
In a rare "time-critical" decision, the James Webb Space Telescope will study the true size of the "potentially hazardous" asteroid 2024 YR4 twice over the next few months. The asteroid has a roughly 2.

Space agencies and thousands of astronomers are working against the clock to determine the trajectory of the body before it becomes too distant to observe in May
"City-killer" asteroid's odds of crashing into Earth go up as Webb telescope is tasked with studying massive space rock
Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2032.
Nasa to turn James Webb Telescope towards asteroid that could collide with Earth
Astronomers are working to reduce the uncertainty about the asteroid’s orbit and rule out any impact risk, but it will fade from view from Earth in a few months.
Odds of recently discovered asteroid hitting earth increase
UNDATED (WKRC) - The chance of Asteroid 2024 YR4, originally discovered in December, colliding with earth has increased, according to a space agency statement on Monday.
Scientists to use NASA's James Webb telescope to track asteroid as odds of hitting Earth rise
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will study asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 2 per cent risk of striking Earth in 2032, up from 1 per cent since its discovery.
