NASA and ESA monitor asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Learn about Near-Earth Objects (NEOs), their risks, and planetary defense strategies.

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

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

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.
