Asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer a threat to Earth, scientists say

Read Time:33 Second


Scientists have finally given the all-clear to Earth from a newly discovered asteroid. NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday that after two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any threat. At one point, the odds of a strike in 2032 were as high as about 3% and topped the world’s asteroid-risk lists. But ESA lowered the odds to 0.001%. NASA had it down to 0.0027%. But there’s still a 1.7% chance the asteroid could hit the moon in 2032. Discovered in December, the asteroid is about 130 feet to 300 feet across, and swings our way every four years.
