The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.
A "city-killer" asteroid has a slim chance to crash into Earth. Here's what to know.
"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.
Why the Odds of an Asteroid Striking Earth in 2032 Keep Going Up (and Down)
NASA and European scientists explain how they calculate the probability of the space rock 2024 YR4 impacting our planet, and why it’s not yet time to worry.
Odds of asteroid hitting Earth went up, but that was expected: What to know about 2024 YR4
The odds that asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 2032 recently spiked from a little more than 1% to 2.3% as more observations are made.
