Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on December 27, 2024, and is estimated to be 40–90 meters in diameter. It has a 2.1% chance (1 in 48) of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032, placing it at Torino Scale 3, meaning it warrants attention but isn’t an immediate threat. The probability of impact increased from 0.1% to 2.1% after new orbital calculations and additional observations refined its trajectory. More data, especially from its close approach in December 2028, will help reassess the risk. . .

Could asteroid 2024 YR4 actually hit Earth in 2032? Asteroid 2024 YR4 was discovered on December 27, 2024, and is about 100 meters wide. Initially, calculations showed a 1 in 32 chance of it hitting Earth in 2032. However, on February 19 and 20th, new data collected overnight by NASA lowered the impact probability to less than 1% or now it is 0.3% While that’s still not zero, the risk remains low, and NASA, along with other space agencies, is closely monitoring it.

Astronomers using the Gemini South Telescope and W. M. Keck Observatory have determined the shape and origin of asteroid 2024 YR4. It now has a 'few percent' chance of impacting the moon after it was determined that it will most likely not hit Earth, according to NOIR Lab.

Will an asteroid hit the moon? We ask our space reporter. 2024 YR4 was discovered at the end of last year and was quickly assigned the highest probability of hitting Earth of all known asteroids. At its most perilous, it had a 1-in-32 chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Further observations reduced the probability of an Earth impact to effectively zero, but there remains a 4 per cent chance of the asteroid slamming into the moon, which could put thousands of critical satellites around the planet at

Feb. 20 update: New data gathered last night (Feb. 19-20) dropped the December 2032 impact odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 to 0.28%. Monitoring continues. ============================================= New observations of asteroid 2024 YR4 helped us update its chance of impact in 2032. The current probability is 1.5%. Our understanding of the asteroid's path improves with every observation. We'll keep you posted. http://go.nasa.gov/3I0ZA7K | NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration

The asteroid known as 2024 YR4 is out of sight, yet still very much on scientists’ minds. The building-sized object, which initially appeared to be on a potential collision course with Earth, is currently zooming beyond the reach of telescopes on its orbit around the sun. And as scientists wait for it to reappear, its revised trajectory is now drawing attention to another possible target: the moon. https://cnn.it/3IJmjsZ | CNN

Risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth increases Telescopes around the world are currently trained on a building-sized asteroid hurtling in Earth’s direction, in an effort to try to understand whether it might hit us. Our current best guess is that this object, called 2024 YR4, has a 1-in-45 chance of striking in 2032, the highest risk of any known asteroid. But what does that number really mean, and when should we start panicking? Learn more: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2467169-astero

Asteroid 2024 YR4: What’s Really Happening? 🚀 👉Asteroid 2024 YR4 is a ~60-meter near-Earth space rock discovered in late 2024 that briefly raised impact concerns. Continued tracking with telescopes and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope refined its orbit and showed it no longer poses a threat to Earth in 2032. However, updated calculations now give it a small ~4% chance of hitting the Moon on December 22, 2032, meaning there’s about a 96% chance it won’t. Scientists are studying ways to deflect

In 2032, asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1 in 23 chance of hitting the Moon, a change from earlier fears it might impact Earth. This potential asteroid collision could lead to a significant meteor impact, blasting huge amounts of rock into space. Such an event would cause intense meteor showers, visible worldwide, offering a unique display of space facts and astronomy facts related to a moon strike. #asteroid #space #nasa | ScienceExplained
