Asteroid širine 100 metara dospeo je na vrh liste rizika od udara nakon što je u decembru otkriven automatizovanim teleskopom.
The article highlights the discovery and potential threat posed by asteroid 2024 YR4.
Key conceptual ideas:
* Asteroid Discovery and Risk: A 100-meter wide asteroid, 2024 YR4, discovered in December 2022, has raised global concern due to a slight possibility of impacting Earth in 2032.
* Global Planetary Defense: This discovery has triggered global planetary defense protocols, emphasizing the importance of monitoring and potentially mitigating asteroid threats.
* Torino Scale and Risk Assessment: The asteroid is ranked 3 on the Torino Scale, indicating a moderate risk warranting close observation and further study to refine its trajectory prediction.
* Importance of Proactive Monitoring: The article stresses the need for continuous monitoring of near-Earth objects like 2024 YR4 to detect potential threats early and develop effective mitigation strategies.
While the chance of impact remains relatively low (1.3%), the discovery underscores the importance of global cooperation and proactive measures in safeguarding Earth from potential asteroid collisions.
