Asteroid 2024 YRR4 was about to collide with Earth in 2032, about which many reports came in the past. Now NASA has described its possibility of hitting its earth as negligible. Richard Binzel, a professor of planetary science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), told Space Area.com that updated tracking of the orbitroid’s orbit has reduced its probability of its impact by 0.00005 or 20,000 in 2032. That is, earlier the possibility that was 1 out of 360, now it has become 1 in 20,000. Binzel said that now the possibility of the impact of Esteroid has reached Earth equal to zero.
Initially it was considered very dangerous in NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) Sentry Possibility Desk. But NASA again observed it on 18 and 20 February and said that the possibility of collision decreased. Now the possibility of this asteroid not colliding with the earth can be said to be about 100 percent. That is, it will not harm the earth.
However, the threat of Estroid 2024 YR4 does not reduce the risk of the upsetroid to be postponed. The next worrying disaster from space after Esteroid 2024 YRR4 is a 1950 DA asteroid. Asteroid 1950 DA has also been reported to be hitting the earth. According to scientists, this collision can occur in 2880. Its chances of colliding are 0.039 %. It is going to pass close to the Earth in 2028 before which scientists will be able to understand its path better.
