‘God of Chaos’ Asteroid Apophis to Skim Earth in 2029 – Inside the Historic Flyby and the 3 Probes Racing to Study It

Astronomers Propose Blowing Up a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid

Asteroid 2024 YR4, about 50–70 meters wide, briefly showed a 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032 before new data ruled that out. The object still has a 4% chance of striking the Moon on December 22, 2032, which could send tens of millions of kilograms of debris toward Earth orbit, threatening satellites. NASA is studying deflection and nuclear disruption options, though experts caution against using nuclear devices in space.

  • Dollar Gains as US-EU Trade Tensions Escalate; Crude Oil and Inflation Data Influence Moves
    May 1, 2026, 5:51 PM EDT. The dollar index rose 0.12% on Friday, rebounding from a two-week low amid renewed tariff threats by President Trump to impose up to 25% duties on European auto imports. The initial dip in the dollar coincided with a drop in crude oil prices exceeding 3%, which eased inflation concerns and signaled a dovish stance from the Federal Reserve. The weaker-than-expected U.S. April ISM manufacturing report also contributed to early dollar weakness. Rising U.S.-Iran tensions around the Strait of Hormuz bolstered demand for the dollar as a safe haven. The euro weakened 0.06% as tariff uncertainties and hawkish ECB comments weighed, despite supportive lower oil prices and expectations of a 25 basis point ECB rate hike. The yen declined 0.28%, pressured by trade tensions and dovish Japanese price data. Market swaps price an 8% chance of a Fed rate cut versus an 89% likelihood of an ECB hike in June.
