An asteroid discovered in December and named YR4 has a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032. But scientists keep changing the odds. We asked an expert to break it down for us.

NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032

The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans.

With the new observations, NASA has warned that there is around a 1% chance that the asteroid could impact the moon. That probably may well drop over time as well, but experts say that even if the asteroid were to impact the moon, it is unlikely to cause any problems on Earth as debris from such an impact would burn up in Earth’s atmosphere.
