NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid

NASA Tracking Car-Sized Asteroid Approaching Earth Today
The asteroid is hurtling towards us at a zippy 15,000 miles per hour, according to the space agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
Why asteroid 2024 YR4 is unlikely to hit Earth in 2032 and how scientists keep track
The threat of a newly discovered asteroid has risen slightly in the past few weeks, as the world’s telescopes rush to track its course. But the chance of an impact is still quite slim. New calculations suggest there's a 2% chance the space rock 2024 YR4 will smack Earth in 2032.
NASA Makes Big Update to Asteroid Potentially on Collision Course With Earth in 2032
The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans.

The space rock is heading in our direction at some 18,700 miles per hour, according to the space agency's data.
An asteroid's chances of hitting Earth keep shifting. Here's why that is happening
The narrow difference is due to the two agencies' use of different tools for determining the asteroid's orbit and modeling its potential impact. But both percentages rise above the 2.7% chance of collision once associated with an asteroid discovered in 2004 called Apophis,
