Earth, asteroid and 2032

An asteroid with a tiny chance of striking Earth in 2032 is triggering planetary defense planning
YR4 might force NASA to plan the first-ever space mission to push an asteroid away from Earth. Most likely, though, it's a non-threat.
Newly spotted asteroid has a tiny chance of hitting Earth in 2032
First spotted last month by a telescope in Chile, the near-Earth asteroid — designated 2024 YR4 — is estimated to be 130 to 330 feet (40 to 100 meters) across.
'City-killer' asteroid has a 1-in-83 chance of smashing into Earth in 2032, NASA says
The asteroid, dubbed 2024 YR4, was detected by NASA's Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System on Dec. 27, 2024. According to researchers, it has about a 1-in-83 chance of im
An asteroid is heading for Earth - but you'll have to wait a while to find out if we're gonna get hit
The nearly 200-foot space rock has ‘one of the highest probabilities of an impact from a significantly sized rock ever,’ says astronomer
Newly-discovered asteroid could hit Earth in 2032
NASA says there's a tiny chance it could collide with Earth, and it's much too soon to know where that impact could be.
Agencies plan for near-Earth asteroid’s close encounter in 2032
Astronomers confirmed the object as a near-Earth asteroid, and catalogued it as 2024 YR4. But additional calculations soon raised red flags—its estimated 130-328 feet diameter and potential orbital path meant that,
