Asteroid 2024 YR4 Has a 2.3 Percent Chance of Hitting Earth in 2032, Says NASA
Asteroid 2024 YR4, measuring 180 feet wide, has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth on 22 December 2032, according to scientists. A smaller 0.3% risk of the asteroid colliding with the moon has also been noted. While the Earth impact could release energy equal to 8 megatons of TNT, a moon strike may create a visible crater. Researchers are using the J...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 Poses 1-in-43 Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
Asteroid 2024 YR4, identified by NASA, has a 1-in-43 chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032. Measuring approximately 55 metres in diameter, it is not large enough to cause a global catastrophe but could result in significant destruction if it impacts a densely populated area. Scientists estimate the impact could release 8 megatons of e...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 Has a Small but Notable Chance of Earth Impact in 2032
NASA scientists are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, a newly discovered 55-metre-wide object with a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. If it collides, it could release energy equivalent to eight megatons of TNT, enough to cause serious regional damage. Currently ranked as a Level 3 threat on the Torino Scale, its classificati...

Asteroid Apophis Could Strike the Earth If It Collides With Smaller Space Rocks: Study
Earth will have a close encounter with the asteroid Apophis on Friday, April 13, 2029. Also known as the "God of Destruction" after the Egyptian deity of chaos, this massive asteroid will come within 19,000 miles (30,600 kilometres) of our planet, close enough to be visible to the naked eye.
