Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.

A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.

The threat of Asteroid 2024 YR4 has not gone away just yet. The near-Earth object was discovered in December and calculations of its orbit showed something concerning: there was a remote possibility that it was going to hit our planet.
