A newly discovered asteroid, 2024 YR4, has a slightly more than 1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. NASA officials, including Paul Chodas, state there is no immediate concern due to a 99% chance it will miss. The asteroid, spotted in Chile, is being monitored as its path becomes clearer.

Earth experiences impacts from similar-sized asteroids every few thousand years, making this a significant observation. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
