NASA, asteroid and 2024 YR4

Odds of asteroid YR4 2024 hitting Earth in 2032 go up, then down again, in latest NASA analysis
YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.
Odds of 'city killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 fall once again, now to 0.28%, NASA says
The odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 striking Earth have fallen once again, now to 0.28%, NASA announced on Thursday.
NASA massively lowers impact risk of 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 to 1 in 360
Don't worry. Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 99.72% chance of missing Earth in 2032. If you've been worrying about reports of a possible asteroid impact in 2032, we have very good news. NASA has dropped the probability of an impact from asteroid 2024 YR4 — at first to 1 in 67, and now to 1 in 360.
Why do Asteroid 2024 YR4’s odds of hitting Earth keep shifting? NASA explains
While the asteroid's possibly collision with earth wouldn't be until 2032, there's been a lot of talk about the possibility in recent weeks.
Odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth drop from record high, NASA says of 'city killer'
NASA announced Wednesday that the odds of the up to 300-foot-wide asteroid hitting Earth dropped from record highs. See where they stand
NASA updates chances of ‘city killer’ asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth
The chances a ‘city killer’ asteroid will crash into Earth in seven years’ time have fallen, NASA has said. Scientists have kept an eye on the ‘near-Earth asteroid’, named 2024 YR4, as it has an orbit that brings it to our region of the solar system.
Likelihood of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Colliding with Earth Keeps Changing — But It Remains Big Enough to Destroy a City
The likelihood of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth keeps shifting, according to scientists. The object — which is large enough to destroy an entire city — has a 0.28% chance of colliding with Earth as of Feb.
NASA Has Changed the Probability Asteroid YR4 2024 Will Hit Earth—Yet Again
For several years, astronomers have been aware of a much-ballyhooed “city-killer” asteroid named YR4 2024, which is hurtling roughly toward the Earth; as it approaches, astronomers have been waffling about how likely it is to strike.
NASA lowers impact risk of ‘city-killer’ asteroid 2024 YR4 — but we’re not out of the woods
However, we’re not totally out of the woods just yet. YR4 still sits at a level three on the Torino Scale — a standard rubric for the danger of NEOs (Near Earth Objects) that measure over 65 feet in diameter and have a 1% or greater chance of deep impact.
Chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth change again. What's the current impact risk?
The chances of an asteroid colliding with Earth in 2032 reached a record high before decreasing on Wednesday. Here's what to know.
The odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting earth just changed again. This time for the better
Even in the increasingly unlikely event of an impact from YR4, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest appear to be safe from impact. Computer models showed areas of South America, Africa and southeast Asia would have the highest risk in the event of an impact, based on what astronomers know about the asteroid’s orbit.
