Odds of asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 fall. What scientists now say about 2024 YR4
Chances an asteroid may hit Earth in 2032 dropped to near zero, astronomers say. Here's what to know about 2024 YR4.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses significant threat to Earth in 2032, NASA's latest analysis determines
The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies previously projected a 3% chance of the asteroid striking our planet before lowering the chance to 0.28% last week.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 7 years. Here’s what could happen — and what’s being done about it
Not much is known about 2024 YR4, but the asteroid is estimated to be 131 to 295 feet (40 to 90 meters) wide, a “size range comparable to that of a large building,” said Dr. Paul Chodas, manager for the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies,
What Happens If Asteroid 2024 YR4 Strikes Earth — And Why We Can’t ‘Nuke’ It
An asteroid between about 130 and 300 ft. (40 and 90 meters) in diameter has been given a 2.3% chance of it hitting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.
Odds of asteroid YR4 2024 hitting Earth in 2032 go up, then down again, in latest NASA analysis
YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 Update: Scientists Say 'City Killer' No Threat to Earth
Initially, the odds of a collision in 2032 were as high as 3 percent, making it a top concern on global asteroid risk lists.
Chance asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth down to 0.001 percent, ESA says
The chance that a football field-sized asteroid capable of destroying a city will strike Earth in 2032 has fallen to 0.001 percent, the European Space Agency said on Tuesday.
'That's impact probability zero folks!' Earth safe from 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4
YR4 has now been reassigned to Torino Scale Level Zero, the level for 'No Hazard' as additional tracking of its orbital path has reduced its possibility of intersecting the Earth to below the 1-in-1000 threshold.
NASA 'Significantly' Lowers the Odds of 2024 YR4 Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032
The asteroid, which was first reported in December 2024 and is large enough to destroy an entire city, was initially calculated to have a 1% chance of hitting the Earth in the year 2032. By Feb. 7, the odds had more than doubled to 2.3% — a percentage that experts called “uncommon.”
