There's a 2% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's around a 98 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).

An asteroid may hit Earth in 8 years — but don't panic
The hunk of space rock measures somewhere between 130 and 300 feet long, but its speed is unknown. “It’s a matter of ‘does it hit early or late?’” Beatty said. Based on what astronomers do know, they estimate there is a 1.3% chance that it will hit Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.
Newly discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 may hit Earth in 2032. How worried should you be?
