What is the likelihood that asteroid 2024 YR4 will impact Earth in 2032?
According to current calculations, asteroid 2024 YR4 has approximately a 2% chance of hitting Earth in eight years (around 2032), which means there's a 98% chance it will not impact our planet. While any potential asteroid threat requires monitoring and preparation, the odds strongly favor that this particular asteroid will miss Earth. NASA's planetary defense capabilities, including successful missions like DART that demonstrated the ability to alter asteroid trajectories, provide additional confidence in humanity's ability to address such threats if needed.
