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.

Even though the odds of crashing into Earth are quite low, if it does bang into the planet, a catastrophe would be unleashed.

A CHILLING simulation video has revealed the devastating impact a ‘city-killer’ asteroid would have if it hit Earth. Asteroid 2024 YR4 is currently being monitored by experts over a

The ‘city killer’ asteroid (possibly) heading our way might spare us and slam into the Moon instead, scientists said. The space rock known as 2024 YR4 has a 2.1% chance of hitting Earth based on current observations.

NASA astronaut and International Space Station commander Leroy Chiao discusses the latest track of the asteroid and how NASA is preparing.

NASA has been changing the odds of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in recent days, but the latest shift significantly downgrades the asteroid's threat level and makes a moon strike more likely.

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 and other space agencies are attempting to come up with a way to destroy a massive asteroid unlikely to strike Earth.
