The asteroid, Asteroid 2024 YR4, which was first spotted by telescopes on Dec. 27, now has a 0.004 percent chance of hitting the planet and is “expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032,” NASA said in aMonday update. The asteroid previously had a “very small, but notable chance” o...
Update:With new observations added up until February 18, the odds have gone up again. NASA now gives a 3.1 per cent (1 in 32) chance of impact on Dec. 22, 2032. The ESA's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre (NEOCC) has a 2.8 per cent (1 in 35) ...
NASA's Asteroid Watch said its analysts will monitor 2023 DW and update predictions as more data comes in. Astronomer Piero Sicoli, coordinator of the Italian Sormano Astronomical Observatory, laid out his calculations for the asteroid's trajectory on Twitter, estimating there to be a 1...
NASA calculations show possible 'risk corridor' Data also currently shows if the rock enters the Earth's atmosphere on 22 December 2032, it is likely to head along a large central belt of our planet and over numerous major cities. Estimates say the rock would travel "somewhere" along a "ri...
