Thanks to NASA, you probably won’t have to worry about this asteroid killing you
"It is possible that asteroid 2024 YR4 will fade from view before we are able to entirely rule out any chance of impact in 2032," ESA said. "In this case, the asteroid will likely remain on ESA’s risk list until it becomes observable again in 2028."
NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a chance of hitting Earth, scientists actively monitoring
Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 may hit Earth in 2032
YR4, measuring between 130 and 300 feet, could impact Earth in 2032 with a 1.9% chance. It has garnered global attention, but experts assure minimal risk of a catastrophic impact. NASA and ESA are monitoring the situation closely.
NASA Tracks Skyscraper-Sized Asteroid With a 1% Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
An asteroid the size of a skyscraper, 2024 YR4, has caught NASA’s attention due to a slight chance — just over 1% — of impacting Earth in 2032. While this sounds alarming, history shows that similar early warnings often fade with more observations.
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.
