The chances of our planet colliding with this newly discovered object in 2032 are very remote, but they have recently almost doubled. From devastating climate change to ongoing wars to the dismantling of the globe’s largest aid agency,

The asteroid Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a small potential of entering the earth's atmosphere on December 22, 2032 and scientists are still monitoring it.

Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.

As of recent updates, the asteroid's probability of collision has surged to 1 in 43, placing it at the top of Nasa's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) risk list

ESA is closely monitoring the recently discovered asteroid #2024YR4. The asteroid has an almost 99% chance of safely passing Earth in 2032, but a possible impact cannot yet be entirely ruled out. 2024 YR4 is estimated to be between 40 m and 100 m wide. https://t.co/Ab8G1WH2Wp — ESA Operations (@esaoperations) January 29, 2025

YR4 now has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032, prompting ongoing observations. Ground-based telescopes will track it until April, while NASA’s Webb Telescope will examine its size in 2025. New

The European Space Agency (ESA) has increased the estimated risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth on 22 December 2032, now at 2.2%. First detected on 27 December 2024, the asteroid is currently under observation,

Days after it was confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 1-in-83 chance of colliding with Earth, American space agency, Nasa has charted the course of its orbit and the object's trajectory in space. Nasa's Center of Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is tracking the asteroid and has already prepared its projected orbit that brings it in extreme proximity to Earth.
