ESA’s Planetary Defense Office Closely Monitoring Newly Discovered Asteroid 2024 YR4 -- Has a 2.2% Chance of Impacting Earth in 2032

The European Space Agency is closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a very small chance of impacting Earth in 2032. It should safely pass Earth on December 22, 2032, but a possible impact cannot yet be ruled out. The asteroid is estimated to be between 40 and 100 meters wide.
