Earth, asteroid

The odds of an asteroid hitting Earth in 2032 just went slightly up
By contrast, last week 2024 YR4 had only a 1-out-of-83 chance of striking our planet. Before you panic, however, note that 2024 YR4 only measures at a three on the Torino Scale. According to this scale,
Don’t panic, but an asteroid has a 1.9% chance of hitting Earth in 2032
The asteroid warning network is affiliated with the United Nations. Officials activate the IAWN when an asteroid bigger than 10 meters has a greater than 1 percent chance of striking Earth within the next 20 years. The risk of 2024 YR4 meets this threshold.
