Is a Big Asteroid Going to Hit Earth in 2032?
No, or at least not because of the 2024 YR asteroid. First off, there is currently only about a one-in-43 chance that this rock hits Earth, and those odds will change (and probably go down) as scientists gather more data on the recently spotted asteroid. A nearly 98 percent chance it won’t hit us is pretty good.
A space rock dubbed 2024 YR4 has a roughly 2.3% chance of smashing into our planet, NASA scientists announced.
For about six weeks now, NASA has been tracking a small asteroid called “2024 YR4.” It has a very low chance of hitting the Earth on Dec. 22, 2032.
YR4 has just over a 2% chance of hitting Earth, according to NASA, but experts say there's no need to panic yet.
