Is a 'city killer' Asteroid going to hit earth? This is how worried NASA actually are
The asteroid is capable of demolishing an entire city on impact. According to NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), the asteroid measures between 130 and 300 feet across. It is currently the most dangerous space object near Earth, according to NASA, and its impact on the planet would have the same power as a nuclear bomb.
NASA Issues Update on Chance of Giant Asteroid Hitting Earth
In an update issued on February 7, NASA said the probability of 2024 YR4 hitting the Earth had gone from around 1.2 percent (one-in-83) to 2.3 percent (one-in-23).
Has an asteroid ever hit Earth? List of collisions as NASA doubles chance of strike in 2032
Scientists recently doubled the chances that Asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth in 2032. While earlier estimates said the chance of the giant space rock- roughly the size of Big Ben- had around a one per cent chance of collision with our planet, this has now risen to 2.3 per cent, or around one in 43.
