YR4: everything to know about the potential "city killer" space rock that has a 2.3% chance of striking Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 7 years. Here’s what could happen — and what’s being done about it
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.
An asteroid could hit Earth in 7 years. Here's how astronomers are tracking it
Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a football field as they try to determine how likely it is to strike Earth in 2032.
NASA says odds of massive asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth are growing
The U.S. space agency said the probability of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth in 2032 has grown to 3.1%, or a 1-in-32 chance. Earlier in January, NASA had put the chance of the asteroid impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032 at 1%.
An asteroid could collide with Earth: What could happen, and should we worry?
An asteroid becomes a meteorite when it travels to Earth from a nearby orbit or the outer solar system and collides with Earth, according to the United States Geological Survey. Small asteroids typically burn up in the upper atmosphere before ever reaching Earth’s surface to become meteorites.
Odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 have reached new high
YR4 has a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but as astronomers make more observations about its trajectory, the odds of a collision seem to be increasing
Newly discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 unlikely to hit Earth in 2032

How do astronomers track asteroids that could threaten Earth?
Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are asteroids or comets nudged into our neighborhood ... Denneau says. "We do that for hundreds of footprints at each telescope every single night," he says.
