According to NASA’s new calculations, the probability of the asteroid called 2024 YR4 will hit the Earth in the next eight years fell to 1.5 percent. The decline in the price of the intercity killer was expected by the global astronomy community. It is now believed that the probability of the asteroid to hit the Earth on December 22, 2032 will fall to zero.

NASA recalculated the risk of asteroids in 2032

For the last few days, asteroids have been the object of multiplying the Earth among all major space bodies, according to modern estimates. According to the updated calculations, the probability of direct hit fell to 1.5 percent. The European Space Agency predicts the probability of collision as 1.38 %.

Richard Moisle, President of the European Space Agency (ESA) planetary protection unit, said that this is an expected situation because an asteroid’s “uncertainty zone”, which is likely to hit the Earth, began to move away from our planet.

According to the scientist, the possibility will be a little more “increasing and decreasing, but will eventually fall below one percent. It is not yet clear whether James Webb Space Telescobu will do next month on the asteroid next month. On the other hand, the possibility of space traveler’s hitting the Moon is only 0.8 %, according to NASA’s latest data.

The hidden danger of the Red Planet: Mars dust threatens

Scientists conducted an important research on the Red Planet. Mars dust was said to be a major threat to astronauts.

The asteroid called 2024 YR4 was first discovered in December last year. The diameter varies between 40 and 90 meters. The decline will not lead to a global disaster, but it can still cause significant damage and loss of life.

The asteroid, which was previously greater than 30 meters and posed a potential danger, was Apophis, which was discovered in 2004. This space rock is estimated to be 2.7 %likely to hit Earth in 2029. As a result of the additional observations made later, this possibility disappeared.
