Here are the chances that a newly observed asteroid could hit Earth in 2032
An asteroid first observed in late December 2024 is on track to pass by or collide with Earth in December 2032.
Asteroid's odds of hitting Earth went up. Scientists aren't surprised.
It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.
