NASA Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Not Hit Earth, Risk Reduced to Zero
NASA has reassured the public that asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses any threat to Earth. Initially, the asteroid had a 1-in-32 chance of impact, making it a Level 3 risk on the Torino Scale. However, new observations have reduced the probability to zero. The asteroid will make close flybys in 2028 and 2032, providing scientists with an opportunity...

NASA Lowers Impact Probability of Asteroid 2024 YR4 After New Data
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially flagged as a potential threat due to its size and energy potential, has been downgraded after refined observations. NASA now estimates just a 0.28 percent chance of impact in 2032, significantly reducing concerns. The rapid fluctuation in risk assessment was expected, as ongoing astronomical observations provide more pr...

NASA Lowers Risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032. Initial estimates placed the impact probability at 1 in 32, but updated calculations have reduced it to just 1 in 360 (0.28 percent). Experts believe the risk will continue to decline as more data is collected. Despite being the riskiest asteroid on NASA’s Sentry ...
