Why chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth just dropped by half
Asteroid 2024 YR4 continues to keep us on our toes as astronomers work to determine its potential threat to our planet. The latest update is good news because, according to NASA, the chances of a 2032 Earth impact have dropped.

Odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth go up again
Updates on Asteroid 2024 YR4 have been slower during the full Moon, but experts say the precision of the object’s orbit is getting better. In March, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will focus on the potential threat to Earth providing the best estimate of its size.
