NASA and ESA monitor asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Learn about Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), their risks, and planetary defense strategies.

Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.

A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.

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?

The probability of a 2032 collision with the 50-meter asteroid has risen to 1.9%. However, ongoing calculations in the coming days and weeks may cause this estimate to fluctuate

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,

YR4, discovered on December 27, 2024, by the ATLAS survey in Chile, has recently garnered attention due to an increased estimated chance of impacting Earth. Initially, the probability of collision was 1.

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!

The European Space Agency (ESA) has increased the estimated risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth on 22 December 2032, now at 2.2%. First detected on 27 December 2024, the asteroid is currently under observation,

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.
