The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting our planet are now zero. Last week, it was the riskiest asteroid to hit our planet since records began.

NASA has revised the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth on December 22, 2032, reducing it to 0.28%. There are indications it may collide with the Moon instead.

YR4 continues to captivate global attention as NASA tracks its path, lowering the risk of Earth impact to 0.28%, but concerns remain, with a new possibility of a Moon collision.

Even though the odds of crashing into Earth are quite low, if it does bang into the planet, a catastrophe would be unleashed.

New reports suggest that the city-killer asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the Moon instead of Earth when it passes by again in 2032.

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.

A NASA asteroid tracker explains how scientists are calculating the risk to Earth from asteroid 2024 YR4. Archaeologists are piecing together the world’s oldest known rune stone. It could shed light on the origins of early written Germanic languages and who inscribed it.

Earthlings can keep their plans seven years from now after scientists have officially declared Asteroid 2024 YR4 is not a threat to our planet.
