Earth, Asteroid

'Large' asteroid's odds of hitting Earth went up. But not why you think.
It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.
The Odds of a Newly Discovered Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032 Keep Rising
YR4 has a 2.2% chance of striking Earth in seven years, but recent updates keep pushing the odds in the wrong direction.
Here’s what an MIT scientist says about the asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032
Astronomers will have more information later this spring about the asteroid's path and its likelihood of hitting Earth.
There’s a tiny chance the asteroid headed for Earth could hit the moon
YR4 does smash down on the lunar surface, the explosion might be visible from Earth and would leave a new crater on the near side of the moon
Chances of 'country-killer' asteroid hitting Earth increased to 1 in 43
The chances of an asteroid hitting the Earth with enough force to destroy a small country have been increased to 1 in 43. Experts originally said asteroid 2024 YR4 had a 1 in 83 chance of hitting the Earth when it reaches us in 2032.
The global race to find out if asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth
Space agencies and thousands of astronomers are working against the clock to determine the trajectory of the body before it becomes too distant to observe in May
An asteroid has a very small chance to hit Earth. What happens if it does?
Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.
Newly discovered asteroid now has a slightly higher risk of hitting Earth
A newly discovered asteroid named 2024 YR4 now has a 2.2% chance of affecting Earth in 2032 after recent observations.
Is a Big Asteroid Going to Hit Earth in 2032?
No, or at least not because of the 2024 YR asteroid. First off, there is currently only about a one-in-43 chance that this rock hits Earth, and those odds will change (and probably go down) as scientists gather more data on the recently spotted asteroid. A nearly 98 percent chance it won’t hit us is pretty good.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 may hit Earth in 2032 – how worried should we be?
The risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth seems to be creeping up as astronomers gather more data, but does that mean we should be scrambling to prepare for an impact in 2032?
Scientists taking 'active measures' for asteroid with slight chance of hitting earth.
YR4 has just above a 1% chance of crashing into Earth in 2032, which is why astronomers and space agencies are paying attention to it.
