NASA said that the asteroid named “2024 YR4 ılan, which was discovered last year last year, was likely to hit the Earth in 2032. In a statement made on February 7, it was announced that the possibility rose from 1.2 %to 2.3 %. In the following weeks, this rate increased to 2.6 %.

Today, a statement came from NASA. Following the new measurements, the announcement made today, the risk of impact of the celestial stone increased to 3.1 %, he said.

It was recorded as the highest probability of impact in history as a celestial body

The probability of 3.1 %was recorded as the highest impact for a celestial stone. 2024 YR4 is thought to approach the Earth around December 2032. The researchers said that although there is still a possibility that there is still close to 97 %, therefore should not be worried.

2024 YR24 discovered in December is a celestial body of 54 meters in diameter. This celestial stone is not an object to erase humanity, to destroy the planet. But it’s strong enough to destroy a big city. 8 megaton energy can be released at the time of impact. This means more than 500 times the atomic bomb thrown into Hiroshima.

2024 YR24 will continue to work on scientists. Soon we can see that the rates change again when they understand the route more appropriate. There is even a possibility of falling to 0. So there’s no need to worry for now. Let’s add that there is a possibility of hitting the Moon at a rate of 0.3 %.
