Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses significant threat to Earth in 2032, NASA's latest analysis determines
The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies previously projected a 3% chance of the asteroid striking our planet before lowering the chance to 0.28% last week.
NASA says Earth is in the clear from asteroid 2024 YR4, which had a small chance of impacting our planet in 2032.
Local expert Andrew Bacon sets the record straight on the chance of an asteroid strike.
