The asteroid YR4's chances of impact now surpass the odds that Apophis once had of colliding with Earth when it was first discovered in 2004. Fortunately, the 130 to 300-foot asteroid is much ...
2024 YR 4 is an asteroid with an estimated diameter of 40 to 90 metres (130 to 300 ft) that is classified as an Apollo-type (Earth-crossing) near-Earth object.From 27 January to 20 February 2025, it had an impact rating of 3 on the Torino scale, with a maximum estimated probability of 3.1% that it would impact Earth on 22 December 2032.
Due to Earth's escape velocity, the minimum impact velocity is 11 km/s with asteroid impacts averaging around 17 km/s on the Earth. [22] The most probable impact angle is 45 degrees. [22] Impact conditions such as asteroid size and speed, but also density and impact angle determine the kinetic energy released in an impact event.
