Asteroid 2024 YR4 - Page 4

The asteroid 2024 YR4 could resemble the Tunguska Event of 1908, with potential for destruction. Discovered by NASA’s ATLAS, it may impact Earth in December 2032, affecting 30 to 50 kilometers if collided. Scientists are preparing evacuation strategies as a primary defense.

NASA’s analysis of asteroid 2024 YR4 has reduced its impact risk with Earth from 3.1% to 0.28%. The asteroid was initially feared to collide with Earth in 2032, but updated calculations revealed a much safer trajectory. Despite the reduced risk, a potential

Asteroid 2024 YR4, sized between 130 to 300 feet, poses a significantly reduced impact risk, with current odds at only 0.28%. Initial fears of collision have subsided through persistent observations by NASA and the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies. While an Earth

Asteroid 2024 YR4, dubbed a “city killer,” measures 40-80 meters but poses a diminishing threat to Earth as predictions refine. While initial collision risk was 2.3%, it decreased to 1% due to improved trajectory tracking by astronomers. Advanced celestial sentinel systems continuously

Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially labeled a “city killer,” was first detected by astronomers from Maunakea. Initial calculations estimated a 3% collision chance with Earth in 2032, raising significant concern. The University of Hawaii’s astronomers worked diligently, reducing the potential impact risk to

Asteroid 2024 YR4, identified by ATLAS in Chile, is being closely monitored for potential Earth impact. The James Webb Space Telescope is crucial in tracking YR4’s orbit with infrared observations. Current predictions estimate a 0.28% chance of impact, down from a previous
