Chances of an asteroid the size of Big Ben hitting Earth in 2032 just increased
Astronomers say there is a 2.3% chance an asteroid nearly as big as the Statue of Liberty will smash into the Earth in 2032. The odds of this big old space rock, 2024 YR4, striking us was only 1.33% last week,
Astronomers' predictions as chance of asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 just got higher
NASA’s Centre for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) has calculated a 2.3% chance—roughly a 1-in-43 probability—that asteroid 2024 YR4 could impact Earth in 2032. While the number may sound alarming, astronomers emphasise that further observations will likely refine the asteroid’s trajectory and reduce any potential risk.
