Based on current data, there are no confirmed, major, life-threatening objects set to collide with Earth in 2027. While various asteroids are tracked for potential impact, such as 2024 YR4, which has a very low probability of impact, and the well-known Apophis passing in 2029, sensationalized claims of imminent, large-scale impacts are not supported by evidence.
Based on new tracking measurements taken this week, the International Asteroid Warning Network (IAWN) has confirmed that asteroid 2017 PDC is on a course that will almost certainly impact Earth on July 21, 2027, less than nine years from now.
Is it true that an asteroid will hit Earth in 7 years?
The chances currently stand at 2.1% or about 1 in 47, astronomers stress that as they refine orbital calculations for 2024 YR4, as the asteroid is called, the odds are likely to fall to zero. (There's even a slimmer chance that the asteroid could impact the moon.)
At its closest, the comet will still be very far away from our planet, at nearly twice the distance of the Sun: On Dec. 19, 2025, 3I/ATLAS will be about 1.8 astronomical units (about 170 million miles, or 270 million kilometers) from Earth.
The orbit of the massive asteroid, known as 1997 XF11, was posted today on the Internet by the International Astronomical Union. At about 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on 26 October 2028, the chunk of rock will almost certainly pass closer to Earth than the moon. But don't bet on Armageddon, observers say.
Yes, Earth faced significant dangers in 2025, primarily from ongoing climate change, with 2025 being one of the hottest years on record, nearing the critical 1.5°C warming threshold, leading to intensified extreme weather, alongside risks from emerging diseases, biodiversity loss, and potential asteroid impacts (though specific 2025 asteroids passed safely).
“2024 YR4 currently has a less than 2% probability of impact on December 22, 2032, placing it at Level 3 on the Torino Scale. This means it merits attention from astronomers but is not an immediate threat. “As additional observational data is gathered, the probability of impact is expected to decrease.
On 23 July 2012, solar active region 1520 (~141°W heliographic longitude) gave rise to a powerful coronal mass ejection (CME) with an initial speed that was determined to be 2500 ± 500 km/s. The eruption was directed away from Earth toward 125°W longitude.
On April 13, 2029, the large asteroid 99942 Apophis will make an extremely close, but safe, flyby of Earth, passing less than 32,000 km (about 19,000 miles) above the surface, closer than some geostationary satellites, and will be visible to the naked eye as a fast-moving bright star from parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia. This event, named after the Egyptian god of chaos, is a rare opportunity for scientists to study a potentially hazardous asteroid up close, with missions like NASA's OSIRIS-APEX and ESA's planned Ramses set to observe its surface changes.
Asteroids heading towards Earth in 2025: will they hit our planet? Here is a list of asteroids that will come close to our planet in the near future. At this time, there is no evidence that any of these asteroids will collide with Earth. We have included only those that will pass within 5 lunar distances (LD) of Earth.
If it hits Earth, it can destroy a large metropolis, as well as cause significant climate change on the entire Earth. It is expected to approach Earth on April 13, 2029, at a distance of 31,000 kilometers. But new modeling has shown that the collision of small asteroids with Apophis can change its trajectory.
On August 2, 2027, a rare total solar eclipse will plunge parts of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East into complete darkness for up to 6 minutes and 23 seconds-the longest such event visible from land between 1991 and 2114.
A 300m-wide asteroid will not hit the Earth in 2036, US astronomers say. It was thought there was a one-in-200,000 chance that it could strike on 13 April 2036, but revised calculations have now ruled this out. Instead, Nasa scientists said it would not get closer than 31,000km as it flies past on this date.
What would happen if the 2012 solar storm hit Earth?
Scientists believe if the 2012 CME had impacted Earth, it would have caused three waves of damage. First, we'd have noticed radio blackouts and GPS navigation errors due to X-rays and ultraviolet radiation breaching the upper layers of our atmosphere.
On July 23, 2012, a massive cloud of solar material erupted off the sun's right side, zooming out into space and passing one of NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft along the way. Scientists clocked this giant cloud, known as a coronal mass ejection, or CME, as traveling over 1,800 miles per second as it left the sun.
The amateur scientist's records of the storm gave it the name it has today: the Carrington Event of 1859. It remains the world's largest solar storm on record.
In 2036, Apophis will pass the Earth at a third the distance of the Sun in both March and December. Using the 2024 orbit solution, the Earth approach on March 27, 2036, will be no closer than 0.3089 AU (46.21 million km; 28.71 million mi; 120.2 LD), but more likely about 0.3097 AU (46.33 million km; 28.79 million mi).
In recent weeks, the chances of a so-called city-killer asteroid, 2024 YR4, hitting Earth in 2032 seemed to be more and more likely. However, NASA, the European Space Agency and others have since reduced those odds to less than 1%.
In his predictions, Hawking saw a world transformed by digital technology in 2025, with global interconnectivity thanks to a “worldwide internet.” This vision seems almost prophetic: in 2025, smartphones, connected devices, and online platforms dominate our lives.
On May 6, 2025, BGR reported that scientists with NASA and Japan's Toho University used the computer to determine "when all life will end" on Earth. They determined that the sun will end life on Earth around the year 1,000,002,021 because it is expanding, BGR reported.
THE working class of the country is all set to go on a massive countrywide general strike on July 9, 2025. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the working class will be the peasantry – both peasants and agricultural workers, who will be flooding the streets across the country in solidarity with the workers.
