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.
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.
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.
'Just the tip of the iceberg': Why risky asteroids like 2024 YR4 will pester Earth for decades to come
The world is watching as NASA tweaks the odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth. But how threatening is YR4, and how does it compare to other potentially hazardous space rocks?
Asteroid ’2024 YR4′ unlikely to hit Earth in 2032, but why are we obsessed with doomsday scenarios? - The Front Page
However, observations made of the asteroid on February 19-20 have further decreased its chance of Earth impact to 0.28%. Stardome astronomer Josh Aoraki told The Front Page it’s a relatively small asteroid,
Asteroid 2024 YR4 now unlikely to hit Earth — but scientists are ready for future threats
Objects that could strike the planet will be spotted more regularly as new asteroid-hunting telescopes come online.
Could an asteroid really hit Earth? Odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 reach highest levels ever
The risk that an increasingly ominous asteroid dubbed 2024 YR4 will crash into Earth in seven years now exceeds the the threat once posed by Apophis.
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.
One city-killer 2024 YR4 asteroid, many predictions—Here’s why impact estimates keep changing
An asteroid named 2024 YR4, measuring between 40 to 90 metres wide, has drawn global attention due to its fluctuating probability of colliding with Earth in 2032. Initially assessed at a 3.1% chance,
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’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.
