According to NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies, there is now a 1.9% chance that a large asteroid could pass close enough to Earth within the next decade to pose a potential threat. The odds of impact in 2032 have increased from 1.6% yesterday to 1.9% today, translating to a 1 in 53 chance of collision or a 98.1% chance that the asteroid will miss Earth. The asteroid, named 2024 YR4, measures between 130 and 330 feet in diameter. These estimates will likely fluctuate as more data becomes available.
