Earth, asteroid and NASA

Chances of asteroid striking Earth in the next decade has nearly doubled, NASA says
The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.
NASA makes 'emergency preparation' over asteroid that has chance of hitting Earth in next seven years
However, Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.3 percent chance of colliding with Earth in seven years' time, and its estimated width of 90m means it is roughly the size of Big Ben. The celestial body has been closely monitored by NASA since its December 2024 discovery.
Yes, the odds of an asteroid striking Earth have doubled. No, you don't need to worry
At the end of 2024, astronomers detected an asteroid in the night sky. It was given the designation Y, since it was discovered in the last half of December, and R4 since it was the 117th rock to be found in the last couple of weeks of December,

Asteroid's odds of hitting Earth went up. Scientists aren't surprised.
It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.
An asteroid has a very small chance to hit Earth. What happens if it does?
Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.
