Earth, asteroid and YR4

An asteroid’s chances of hitting Earth keep shifting. Here’s why that is happening
The chance of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 is higher. Experts expect the risk percentage to fluctuate before likely dropping to zero. Here’s why.
Odds of asteroid hitting Earth went up, but that was expected: What to know about 2024 YR4
The odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 2032 recently spiked from a little more than 1% to 2.3% as more observations are made.
NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032
The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans.
Why Asteroid 2024 YR4’s impact probability keeps changing regularly? Find out the reasons
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 have fluctuated dramatically, with NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) updating their assessments almost regularly. Initial calculations suggested a higher risk than previously recorded asteroids,
