YR4 now has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032, prompting ongoing observations. Ground-based telescopes will track it until April, while NASA’s Webb Telescope will examine its size in 2025. New

YR4 has caught the attention of scientists, with a small chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA are closely monitoring its trajectory—should we be concerned?

NASA is tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.9% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. While its size and proximity warrant attention, experts stress there’s no immediate threat. Ongoing observations will refine predictions,

An asteroid the size of a skyscraper, 2024 YR4, has caught NASA’s attention due to a slight chance — just over 1% — of impacting Earth in 2032. While this sounds alarming, history shows that similar early warnings often fade with more observations.

We're probably still safe from this space rock, but at the moment, the chances of having a very bad encounter in 2032 have gone up!

Days after it was confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1-in-83 chance of colliding with Earth, American space agency, Nasa has charted the course of its orbit and the object's trajectory in space. Nasa's Center of Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is tracking the asteroid and has already prepared its projected orbit that brings it in extreme proximity to Earth.
