New findings explain the Phoenix cluster's mysterious starburst. Data confirm the cluster is actively cooling and able to generate a huge amount of stellar fuel on its own.
Since the asteroid YR4 was first discovered in December 2024, the odds that it could crash into earth have more than doubled.
Most massive galaxies have black holes at their cores that emit energetic particles, heating the galaxy’s gas and dust.
YR4 has a roughly 2 percent chance of hitting Earth in 2032, and “is large enough to cause localized damage,” NASA says.
