The European Space Agency says the asteroid could destroy a city and has a 2.2 per cent chance of hitting Earth.

YR4 has a 2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.

Astronomers have captured a new image of the asteroid 2024 YR4, which now has a 1 in 48 chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

Earth could face catastrophic consequences if hit by an asteroid similar to Bennu, according to new computer simulations.

Asteroids that orbit close to the Earth inevitably cause us some anxiety due to the even remote possibility of a collision.

YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.
