Asteroid 2024 YR4; A Growing Concern for Earth Impact in 2032
An asteroid named 2024 YR4, with a size between 130 and 300 feet, has a small but increasing chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. NASA's current probability estimate stands at 2.3%, up from 1.2%. Discovered by ATLAS in Chile, this Near-Earth Object is under close observation by astronomers using ground-based telescopes and the James Webb Space Telescope. While the likelihood of impact remains low, further observations are crucial to refine its trajectory and size.
