An asteroid discovered late last year is expected to be in our neck of space in 2032.. The good news? It's not coming for Earth. Asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer visible, but NASA squeezed in one ...

An international team is currently closely tracking the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4. The impact probability estimates for the year 2032 has been reduced from a peak of 3 percent to below 0.001 ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 became the highest-rated asteroid predicted to strike Earth, and although predictions for impact have lowered, not enough is being done to track it, says local astronomer.

For a few days in mid-February, headlines around the world buzzed about the potential for an asteroid to hit the Earth in 2032 — specifically, asteroid 2024 YR4.The chance of this impact rose to ...

The odds that a potentially destructive asteroid will collide with Earth in 2032 have increased once again, NASA says, but the chance of an actual impact is still quite slim.

☄️ The impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 has dropped from 2.8% to 0.16%. Thanks to new observations, Earth is now at the edge of our shrinking ‘uncertainty window.’ If this trend ...

NASA’s Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) first discovered the asteroid, named 2024 YR4, in December 2024, according to a blog post from the agency.

NASA has been revising the odds of an asteroid hitting the Earth in 2032, with recent estimates increasing the chance to 3.1 percent. But planetary scientist Terik Daly says there’s no reason to ...

While an impact could cause major damage, it is not large enough to trigger a mass extinction event. The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth in 2032 have fallen to 1.5%, NASA announced Wednesday.

Now, however, with an impact risk of just 1 in 360, or 0.28%, asteroid 2024 YR4's hazard level on the Torino scale — used to categorize how dangerous an asteroid is — stands at 1.

As of Thursday, Feb. 20, data shows that there is a 0.3% chance 2024 YR4 will impact Earth. The asteroid is estimated to be between 130 and 300 feet across.

An asteroid is on a collision course with Earth, possibly making impact in 2032. In the unlikely event that Asteroid 2024 YR does strike Earth, it would generate an explosion equal to nearly 8 ...
