The asteroid 2024 YR4, once considered potentially hazardous, isn't likely to hit us anytime soon. Now, a team of researchers ...

YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.

NASA and ESA are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially had a higher collision probability with Earth than the Apophis asteroid. New data has since lowered the impact risk to 1.5% ...

NASA has downgraded the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 to 1.5 per cent, or 1-in-67, down from a high of a 1-in-32 chance, which was the highest odds yet of collision. Astronomers ...

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.

At the time, the odds of a small asteroid first discovered late last year—and designated 2024 YR4—hitting us were non-negligible. There was an estimated 3.2 percent chance that the large rock ...

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.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a large space rock continues to be in the spotlight since being discovered in December last year. Earlier this week, scientists increased the chances of the asteroid striking ...

It was reported in January that the recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 had a 1-in-83 chance of hitting Earth in December 2032. A few weeks later, those odds were reduced to a more worrying 1-in ...

Media reports suggest that NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) remains committed to keeping a close watch on asteroid 2024 YR4. Even with the risk to Earth minimized scientists ...

Don't worry. Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 99.72% chance of missing Earth in 2032. If you've been worrying about reports of a possible asteroid impact in 2032, we have very good news. NASA has dropped ...

UPDATE Feb. 24, 2025: With new observations over the weekend, the odds of 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 ... Lab tests, too, show that laser deflections work. And scientists have long discussed ...
