NASA, Earth and asteroid

Thanks to NASA, you probably won’t have to worry about this asteroid killing you
"It is possible that asteroid 2024 YR4 will fade from view before we are able to entirely rule out any chance of impact in 2032," ESA said. "In this case, the asteroid will likely remain on ESA’s risk list until it becomes observable again in 2028."
New NASA imagery shows large asteroid that could impact Earth in 2032
A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.
NASA spots asteroid that could hit Earth in 157 years
A space rock with some history could be on a collision course with Earth, though, to be fair, it's pretty unlikely. Bennu has a 1:2,700 chance of hitting us in 2182.
NASA: Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a chance of hitting Earth, scientists actively monitoring
Experts are tracking asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1.2% chance of impacting Earth in 2032. Observations continue to refine its path.
NASA Tracking Truck-Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth
NASA is tracking a truck-sized asteroid which is set to hurtle by Earth today at many times the velocity of a speeding bullet. The space rock—dubbed "2025 BV5"—is estimated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to be some 26 feet across.
There's a 2% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's around a 98 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
A massive asteroid has a chance to hit Earth. Here's what to know.
"An asteroid this size impacts Earth on average every few thousand years and could cause severe damage to a local region," the European Space Agency said.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 may hit Earth in 2032
YR4, measuring between 130 and 300 feet, could impact Earth in 2032 with a 1.9% chance. It has garnered global attention, but experts assure minimal risk of a catastrophic impact. NASA and ESA are monitoring the situation closely.
NASA scientist warns, we can't stop a big asteroid
An asteroid has a one in 83 chance of hitting Earth in just over seven years. While most space rocks pass by harmlessly, this one, known as 2024 YR4, which is about half the size of a football field,
