An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.

It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.

YR4 might force NASA to plan the first-ever space mission to push an asteroid away from Earth. Most likely, though, it's a non-threat.

Researchers say there’s a 1.3 percent chance that the space rock 2024 YR4 could strike our planet — but not until December 2032.

An Asteroid that would destroy a city, is making its journey towards Earth, sparking concern for a possible collision.The celestial body, known as Asteroid 2024 YR4 is between 40 to 100 meters in size with a 1.

On 27 December last year, astronomers using the ATLAS survey telescope in Chile discovered a small asteroid moving away from Earth. Follow up observations have revealed that the asteroid, 2024 YR4, is on a path that might lead to a collision with our planet on 22 December 2032.

A newly discovered asteroid has a tiny chance of smacking Earth in 2032, space agency officials said Wednesday. Scientists put the odds of a strike at slightly more than 1%. “We are not worried at all,

The odds of a recently discovered massive asteroid hitting Earth within the next seven years are shockingly not zero. Dubbed 2024 YR4, the approximately 150-foot-wide asteroid was first spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on Dec.
