Earth, asteroid

What are the chances an asteroid will impact Earth in 2032?
February, headlines around the world buzzed about the potential for an asteroid to hit the Earth in 2023—specifically, asteroid 2024 YR4. The chance of this impact rose to a high of 3.1 percent on Feb.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a near-zero chance of striking Earth. How many have hit Ohio?
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth. Last week, the asteroid had a 3.1% probability of hitting Earth, which set a record level for large space rocks.
The chances of an asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 have changed. But what’s the risk, really?
On Tuesday, astronomers reported that 2024 YR4’s probability of colliding with Earth increased to approximately 3%, which is unusual for a small asteroid that is only 130 to 300 feet wide. By Wednesday, that impact assessment dropped to 1.5%.
The riskiest asteroid on record now has near-zero chance of hitting Earth
The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4’s odds of colliding with Earth in 2032 have dropped to nearly zero, thanks to new observations of the space rock.
This Asteroid Had a 3 Percent Chance of Hitting Earth and Now It’s Zero
For a brief moment, it looked like asteroid 2024 YR4 had a real shot at hitting Earth in 2032. With its impact probability climbing to a record-breaking 3%, astronomers scrambled to refine its trajectory using some of the most powerful telescopes on the planet.
