NASA Tracking Car-Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth Today
The asteroid is hurtling towards us at a zippy 15,000 miles per hour, according to the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
NASA tracking 'city-killer' asteroid expected to come near Earth in 2032
NASA astronaut and International Space Station commander Leroy Chiao discusses the latest track of the asteroid and how NASA is preparing.
An asteroid could hit Earth in 7 years. Here's how astronomers are tracking it
Over the next several weeks, astronomers will be looking closely at an asteroid called 2024 YR4 that could be as big as a football field as they try to determine how likely it is to strike Earth in 2032.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit Earth in 7 years. Here’s what could happen — and what’s being done about it
YR4 has a 2.8% to 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Astronomers are tracking it to refine estimates of its size and orbit to see how much of a risk the space rock poses.
Chance of asteroid striking Earth in the next decade rises to 3.1%, NASA says
The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has more than doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.
Latest NASA Observations Make Asteroid 2024 YR4 The Most Dangerous Since Tracking Began
"Nature already has settled the question. We just don't know that answer yet. That's why the tracking efforts continue," Richard P. Binzel, inventor of the Torino Impact Hazard Scale for asteroids, told IFLScience.
An asteroid’s chances of hitting Earth keep shifting. Here’s why that is happening
The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 hit a record high. Experts expect the risk percentage to fluctuate before likely dropping to zero. Here’s why.
'City-Killer' Asteroid's Risk Of Hitting Earth Drops To 1.5%. Why It Keeps Changing
On the Torino Scale, 2024 YR4's ranking of 3 indicates that current calculations show a 1 per cent or higher chance of a collision that could cause localised damage. However, astronomers expect that further observations will likely downgrade it to Level 0.
Odds of recently discovered asteroid hitting Earth drop nearly to zero
Another night of observations revealed there is little to fear from the football-field-sized Asteroid 2024 YR4.

"I find this asteroid to be extremely exciting! This is the last chance we have to observe the asteroid from Gemini before 2028."
What to Know: NASA Reduces Risk of Asteroid Hitting Earth in 2032
While the chances of 2024 YR4 hitting Earth decreased, the risk of it colliding with the moon went up slightly.
