Earth in clear from Asteroid 2024 YR4 strike in 2032

Asteroid 2024 YR4 more likely to smash into the Moon? Here’s what scientists predict about earth-asteroid collision
NASA has revised the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth on December 22, 2032, reducing it to 0.28%. There are indications it may collide with the Moon instead.
Earth safe from 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 'That's impact probability zero folks!'
The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting our planet are now zero. Last week, it was the riskiest asteroid to hit our planet since records began.
Will 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 destroy the Moon? Here's what scientists are saying about Earth's safety
YR4 continues to captivate global attention as NASA tracks its path, lowering the risk of Earth impact to 0.28%, but concerns remain, with a new possibility of a Moon collision.
Scientists Say ‘City Killer’ Asteroid Could Hit the Moon Instead of Us — So What Happens Then?
Even though the odds of crashing into Earth are quite low, if it does bang into the planet, a catastrophe would be unleashed.
City-killer asteroid could strike the Moon instead of Earth, reports claim
New reports suggest that the city-killer asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the Moon instead of Earth when it passes by again in 2032.
NASA massively lowers impact risk of 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 to 1 in 360
Don't worry. Asteroid 2024 YR4 now has a 99.72% chance of missing Earth in 2032. If you've been worrying about reports of a possible asteroid impact in 2032, we have very good news. NASA has dropped the probability of an impact from asteroid 2024 YR4 — at first to 1 in 67, and now to 1 in 360.
The odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting earth just changed again. This time for the better
Even in the increasingly unlikely event of an impact from YR4, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest appear to be safe from impact. Computer models showed areas of South America, Africa and southeast Asia would have the highest risk in the event of an impact, based on what astronomers know about the asteroid’s orbit.
Odds of asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 suddenly change—again
Discovered after passing by Earth in December, the asteroid will remain visible through April. After that time, it will be too faint to observe until June 2028. As astronomers continue to gather data during that time, NASA said the probability of impact will continue to fluctuate, noting it's also possible for chances to increase again.
'City-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon instead of us, scientists say
YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.
What are the chances asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth?
A NASA asteroid tracker explains how scientists are calculating the risk to Earth from asteroid 2024 YR4. Archaeologists are piecing together the world’s oldest known rune stone. It could shed light on the origins of early written Germanic languages and who inscribed it.
