The 2024 YR4 asteroid is being closely monitored with a 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032 - higher than any other in recorded history - with NASA scientists reportedly concerned about its trajectory
The asteroid 2024 YR4, classified as a "city killer," has a 3% chance of hitting Earth on December 22, 2032, according to NASA. This probability is the highest recorded for any asteroid. If it impacts an urban area, it could flatten a mid-sized city. NASA is closely monitoring the asteroid's trajectory, using advanced telescopes to track its path. The asteroid's potential collision in 2032 is considered a critical event, with a 20-minute window during which Earth could intersect its path.
