Scientists at the Center for Near Earth Object Studies at NASA have made a surprising discovery about an asteroid named 2024 YR4. In late January, they announced that this asteroid had a small chance of hitting Earth on December 22, 2032.
Initially, the probability was reported to be slightly over 1 percent. However, in recent days, it has increased to as high as 2.3 percent according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Sentry System. The fluctuation suggests that scientists are closely monitoring the asteroid and will continue to update its trajectory.
