Asteroid's chance of hitting Earth in 2032 not high

Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 7 years. Here’s what could happen — and what’s being done about it
YR4 has a 2.8% to 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.
Scientists (mostly) rule out this newly discovered asteroid hitting Earth in the next decade
There’s still a 1.7 percent chance that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon on Dec. 22, 2032, according to NASA.
Asteroid’s chances of striking Earth keep rising. Could it hit Oregon?
Chances are increasing that a large asteroid, dubbed YR4, will strike Earth in 2032, possibly resulting in large-scale destruction wherever it lands. On Tuesday, astronomers with NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies upgraded the odds of a YR4 strike to 3.1%, the highest risk level ever recorded.
There's a slight chance Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Moon in 2032
There is a chance, albeit slim, that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the Moon, creating a new crater and an explosion that might just be visible from Earth.
'City-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon instead of us, scientists say
YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.
Astronomers see lower risk of newly found asteroid hitting Earth
New observations of a small asteroid discovered in December have led astronomers to conclude that the chances of it striking Earth are almost zero after earlier data had indicated a higher risk of a collision with this space rock about 130-300 feet (40-90 meters) wide.
Asteroid's chance of hitting Earth in 2032 not high after all
New observations of a small asteroid discovered in December have led astronomers to conclude that the chances of it striking Earth are almost zero, after earlier data had indicated a higher risk of a collision with this space rock about 40 to 90 metres wide.
Earth is safe from asteroid 2024 YR4 but could hit the Moon
Earth is no longer on a collision course with asteroid 2024 YR4, but it could potentially collide with the Moon. After weeks of observation, NASA and the European Space Agency confirmed that the asteroid no longer poses a threat to Earth.
