NASA makes 'emergency preparation' over asteroid that has chance of hitting Earth in next seven years
However, Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.3 percent chance of colliding with Earth in seven years time, and its estimated width of 90m means it is roughly the size of Big Ben. The celestial body has been closely monitored by NASA since its December 2024 discovery.
Chances of asteroid striking Earth in the next decade has nearly doubled, NASA says
The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.

NASA issues 'emergency' update on 'city-killer' asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032
Space agencies have been granted permission to use a giant telescope to assess the potential impact of a "city-killer" asteroid. This rare opportunity comes as astronomers warn that Asteroid 2024 YR4, recently discovered, has a 2.3 percent chance, about one in 43, of colliding with Earth.
Asteroid may hit the moon instead of Earth: NASA
An asteroid originally thought to have a higher chance of colliding with Earth might instead strike the Moon, according to new calculations. NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) had previously estimated that asteroid 2024 YR4 had a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, up from about 1%.
