Part 2/7:
Originally, astronomers believed 2024 YR4 posed a threat to Earth approximately seven years from now. This asteroid, nearly 200 feet across, drew attention due to its size and trajectory. Early assessments suggested a small but notable chance — about 4% — that the asteroid could collide with our planet. Fortunately, further observations have alleviated those fears, indicating that Earth is very unlikely to be impacted.
