After threatening our world with a three percent chance of impact, asteroid 2024 YR4 exited the scene with a four percent chance of hitting the Moon in 2032.

At the time of the announcement in January, the asteroid’s impact probability was reported to . The impact probability describes how likely a hazardous asteroid is to hit Earth.

Astronomers say the odds of an asteroid hitting the moong have increased, and that may still impact Earth.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially considered a potential threat to Earth, is now more likely to hit the moon in 2032. The asteroid, about the size of a 10-story building, has a 4.3% chance of lunar ...

A few weeks ago, Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines for being surprisingly likely to hit Earth in the next several years. After peaking at an impact likelihood of about 3%, additional data was ...

For a few days in mid-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 ...

In mid-February, asteroid 2024 YR4 was spotted and originally believed to have a 3.1 per cent of hitting Earth in 2032. Further calculations revealed this was not the case.

“NASA analysis drops asteroid 2024 YR4's impact probability to 0.004%, meaning it is expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032,” NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office posted on X Monday.

An asteroid between 130 and 300 feet wide has a slight chance of hitting Earth in 2032 — but the precise odds have been a moving target since the space rock was first detected nearly two months ago.

Phew! The risk of that asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 has significantly lowered The European Space Agency says there’s now just a 0.16 percent chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 will impact our planet.
