1. What’s Asteroid 2024 YR4?

It’s a big rock in space, 130–300 feet wide, that might come near Earth in 2032. We found it in December 2024.

2. Is it going to hit us?

There’s a slim 1.5% chance it could hit on December 22, 2032. It’s more likely to miss—way more likely!

It could blow up like 7.8 million tons of TNT, wrecking a city, but it’s not big enough to end the world.

Yes! NASA’s already tested pushing an asteroid away with a spacecraft, and it worked great.

We’re still figuring out its path. New pictures give us better guesses, like solving a mystery step by step.
