Earth is safe from asteroid 2024 YR4 but could hit Moon

Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses significant threat to Earth in 2032, NASA's latest analysis determines
The 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is nearly the size of a football field, now has roughly a 0.004% chance of hitting Earth in about eight years, according to the space agency's latest calculations. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies previously projected a 3% chance of the asteroid striking our planet before lowering the chance to 0.28% last week.
Asteroid 2024 YR4’s odds of hitting Earth in 2032 are now effectively zero
New data shrank the odds that this asteroid will hit Earth, but astronomers will continue to study it. Here’s what you need to know.
'That's impact probability zero folks!' Earth safe from 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4
YR4 has now been reassigned to Torino Scale Level Zero, the level for 'No Hazard' as additional tracking of its orbital path has reduced its possibility of intersecting the Earth to below the 1-in-1000 threshold.
The odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting earth just changed again. This time for the better
Even in the increasingly unlikely event of an impact from YR4, Oregon and the Pacific Northwest appear to be safe from impact. Computer models showed areas of South America, Africa and southeast Asia would have the highest risk in the event of an impact, based on what astronomers know about the asteroid’s orbit.
Asteroid 2024 YR 4 no longer has chance of hitting Earth in 2032, says NASA
The asteroid was first discovered in late 2024 and reported when it surpassed the 1% impact probability threshold required to formally notify relevant U.S. government agencies of the object.
House-Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth Tomorrow, NASA Reports
NASA is tracking a house-sized asteroid set to whiz past Earth tomorrow at a thundering 29,304 miles per hour. The space rock—named "2025 DJ22"—is estimated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to be approximately 47 feet across,
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.

NASA’s recent announcement brought relief to millions of people across the globe: Earth is no longer in danger of being struck by asteroid 2024 YR4. This massive space rock, which once posed a serious threat,
Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer a threat, new data confirms
YR4 impacting the earth in 2032 have officially been ruled out by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) scientists with the latest analysis reducing the risk to just 0.001 percent after months of fluctuating predictions.
