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.
Odds of 'city killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 fall once again, now to 0.28%, NASA says
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth have fallen once again, now to 0.28%, NASA announced on Thursday.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 more likely to smash into the Moon? Here’s what scientists predict about earth-asteroid collision
NASA has revised the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth on December 22, 2032, reducing it to 0.28%. There are indications it may collide with the Moon instead.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 will now almost certainly miss Earth in 2032
New observations have dramatically reduced the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032, lowering the risk to minimal levels, but its extraordinarily close approach will offer astronomers th
Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 7 years. Here’s what could happen — and what’s being done about it
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 odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting earth just changed again. This time for the better
Even in the increasingly unlikely event of an impact from YR4, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest appear to be safe from impact. Computer models showed areas of South America, Africa and southeast Asia would have the highest risk in the event of an impact, based on what astronomers know about the asteroid’s orbit.
NASA massively lowers impact risk of 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 to 1 in 360
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 the probability of an impact from asteroid 2024 YR4 — at first to 1 in 67, and now to 1 in 360.
Likelihood of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Colliding with Earth Keeps Changing — But It Remains Big Enough to Destroy a City
The likelihood of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth keeps shifting, according to scientists. The object — which is large enough to destroy an entire city — has a 0.28% chance of colliding with Earth as of Feb.
Odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth drop from record high, NASA says of 'city killer'
NASA announced Wednesday that the odds of the up to 300-foot-wide asteroid hitting Earth dropped from record highs. See where they stand
Why do Asteroid 2024 YR4’s odds of hitting Earth keep shifting? NASA explains
While the asteroid's possibly collision with earth wouldn't be until 2032, there's been a lot of talk about the possibility in recent weeks.
Asteroid 2024 YR4’s odds of hitting Earth just got a lot smaller
New data shrank the odds that this asteroid will hit Earth, but astronomers will continue to study it. Here’s what you need to know.
