In 2021, NASA gave the all-clear to another potentially worrisome asteroid, Apophis, after new telescope observations ruled out any chance of it hitting Earth in 2068. It’s way too soon to fret over this asteroid, according to the experts.

It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.

Measuring approximately 40 to 100 metres wide, people have been nicknaming the asteroid ‘the city destroyer’ as it has the capability of making quite the impact on Earth. And with that, a NASA engineer has shared the countries that might be hit by the chunk of rock if it comes crashing down from space in seven years.
