Asteroid 2024 YR4: Where It Might Strike If It Hits
A NASA scientist has shared a list of cities asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit—if it impacts Earth.
Low Odds, But Rising
“Don’t panic now,” as the chances of impact are still low, though they’ve risen recently. Right now, there’s a 3.1% chance of collision—roughly 1 in 32.
More Data, More Accuracy
Professor Martin Ward explains, “Our estimations get more accurate with time as we get more data,” meaning predictions will improve.
For now, the odds remain in our favor—but scientists are watching closely.
