Latest NASA Observations Make Asteroid 2024 YR4 The Most Dangerous Since Tracking BeganThe chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 have risen again (again), making it the most dangerous ...
Astronomers are closely tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, a recently discovered near-Earth object (NEO) that has a 2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. While the probability remains low, scientists stress ...
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.
The threat posed by the space rock, estimated to be between 40 and 90 metres in diameter, is the highest ever recorded for an ...
