Astronomers are keeping a close watch on a newly discovered near‐Earth asteroid that, while highly unlikely to hit Earth, remains under intense international scrutiny.

Last week, the European Space Agency (ESA) gave the asteroid a 1.3 per cent chance of hitting the Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.

NASA warns that the odds of the 'city-destroying' asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth have increased to a one in 43 chance.

NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has calculated a 2.3% chance—roughly a 1-in-43 probability—that asteroid ...

Astronomers have raised the likelihood of “city-killer” asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth to 2.3 per cent, or roughly ...

SCIENTISTS have unveiled several options to stop 2024 YR4, an asteroid the size of a football pitch from smashing into Earth.

"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said.

Astronomers track asteroid 2024 YR4, with a 1.9% chance of impacting Earth in 2032, but NASA said there's nothing to be worried about.
