Asteroid 2024 YR 4 no longer has chance of hitting Earth in 2032, says NASA
“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. The European Space Agency shared a similar risk assessment of its own Tuesday, finding that the probability was .001%.
