Remember Asteroid 2024 YR4? Its Chances Of Striking Earth Have Nearly Doubled
This asteroid has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth. That's nearly double the percentage reported earlier this month. But experts say it's still not a huge concern – there's still a 97.7% chance it misses the planet entirely.
Chances of asteroid striking Earth in the next decade has nearly doubled, NASA says
The chances of an asteroid striking Earth within the next decade has doubled in a matter of weeks, according to NASA astronomers.
