Earth, asteroid and the 2024 YR4

Earth safe from 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 'That's impact probability zero folks!'
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.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer a threat? Will it ever hit the Earth? Here’s what ESA has revealed
The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to observe the asteroid in March and May 2025 under the directors discretionary time allocation.
Odds of asteroid YR4 2024 hitting Earth in 2032 go up, then down again, in latest NASA analysis
YR4 has a very small chance of striking Earth when its orbit briefly intersects our planet's in December 2032.
The odds of Asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting earth just changed again. This time for the better
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.
