NASA's Asteroid Alert: The Growing Concern Over 2024 YR4
In recent weeks, the astronomical community has raised alarms about a particular asteroid designated as 2024 YR4. NASA has indicated that the chances of this football field-sized asteroid colliding with Earth have more than doubled, with its trajectory putting it on course for a potential impact in December 2032.
The likelihood of a collision has escalated from around 1% to over 3% in just a month. This notable increase in probability has turned heads and prompted swift action from astronomers who are racing against time to gather data before the asteroid fades from view.
