An Asteroid Has a 1-in-63 Chance of Hitting Earth in 2032—Here’s What That Means
A dive into probabilities, asteroid impact modeling, and what sort of damage an approximately 180-foot asteroid could cause on Earth.
UN monitors asteroid with a tiny chance of hitting Earth
UN planetary defence organisations are closely monitoring an asteroid that has a tiny risk of hitting the Earth. The European Space Agency (ESA) has said that it has an almost 99% chance of safely passing Earth on 22 December 2032, but a possible impact "cannot yet be entirely ruled out".
NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a chance of hitting Earth in 2032
Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.
Newly detected near-Earth asteroid has astronomers’ full attention
The risk of impact is likely to drop to zero as observations of Asteroid 2024 YR4 continue.
A newly discovered asteroid has a slim chance of hitting Earth in 2032
An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.
NASA Tracks Skyscraper-Sized Asteroid With a 1% Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
An asteroid the size of a skyscraper, 2024 YR4, has caught NASA’s attention due to a slight chance — just over 1% — of impacting Earth in 2032. While this sounds alarming, history shows that similar early warnings often fade with more observations.
An asteroid with a tiny chance of striking Earth in 2032 is triggering planetary defense planning
YR4 might force NASA to plan the first-ever space mission to push an asteroid away from Earth. Most likely, though, it's a non-threat.
Agencies plan for near-Earth asteroid’s close encounter in 2032
Astronomers confirmed the object as a near-Earth asteroid, and catalogued it as 2024 YR4. But additional calculations soon raised red flags—its estimated 130-328 feet diameter and potential orbital path meant that,
Newly spotted asteroid has a tiny chance of hitting Earth in 2032
A newly discovered asteroid has a tiny chance of smacking Earth in 2032, space agency officials said Wednesday.
