Scientists comment on asteroid 2024 YR4 which may hit Earth in 2032. Prof Martin Ward, Emeritus Temple Chevallier Professor of Astronomy, Durham University, said:

As of February 7, NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies calculates that the nearly 300-foot-wide asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 2.3 percent chance of hitting Earth on December 22, 2032 — which caused some alarm since that is one percent higher than what the European Space Agency had calculated a week prior.
