A terrifying new animation has revealed the projected path of the 'city-destroying' asteroid heading towards Earth. And it suggests that Earth isn't the only object in the firing line.

The animation, provided by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial Impact Last Alert System, shows the path of a 130- to 300-foot-wide asteroid – named 2024 YR4 – having a more than 1% chance of ...

But an asteroid passing closing to the planet is still a great opportunity for research, and astronomers have been taking readings from YR4 and have now created a 3D model of it.

The animation, provided by the NASA-funded Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), shows the path of a 130- to 300-foot-wide asteroid — named 2024 YR4 — having a more than 1 ...

According to the European Space Agency, the Flyeye-1 telescope recently completed its “first light” test at the Italian Space Agency’s Space Geodesy Center, located about 160 miles east of Naples.

Chilling animations depict the apocalyptic impact that "city-killer" asteroid YR4 2024 could have if it did hit Earth — while astronomers warn that the moon could be in the line of fire as well.
