and further observations will refine that orbit to give us a more precise understanding of its potential danger." Here's what to know about the asteroid 2024 YR4 and it's chances of hitting Earth ...

1-in-100, for example, sounds like a long shot—until you find out it’s the chance that an asteroid ... orbit. But potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs) rarely end up colliding with Earth.

Based on its orbit around the sun, this seems unlikely—but we can't rule it out. In that case, the asteroid would make it through the atmosphere intact, and crash into Earth's surface.

Five asteroids are expected to make close approaches to Earth this weekend. A large asteroid could pass close enough to Earth within the next decade that there's a chance it could strike the ...
