Is a Big Asteroid Going to Hit Earth in 2032?
No, or at least not because of the 2024 YR asteroid. First off, there is currently only about a one-in-43 chance that this rock hits Earth, and those odds will change (and probably go down) as scientists gather more data on the recently spotted asteroid. A nearly 98 percent chance it won’t hit us is pretty good.
A newly discovered asteroid named 2024 YR4 now has a 2.2% chance of affecting Earth in 2032 after recent observations.
For about six weeks now, NASA has been tracking a small asteroid called “2024 YR4.” It has a very low chance of hitting the Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.
