It was initially thought it would hit the Earth in 2029 but this theory was dismissed with further research.What is the 2024 YR4 asteroid?The asteroid was discovered on December 27, 2024, by a NASA-funded telescope in Rio Hurtado, Chile, because it had a &#8220;close approach&#8221; to the Earth on Christmas, according to NASA\u2019s Center for NEO Studies (CNEOS).\u00a0At the time, scientists said it was hard to predict whether the asteroid would collide with the Earth or not.\u00a0While the exact size of the asteroid can\u2019t be confirmed yet, scientists estimate that it\u2019s likely between 40 to 90 m in size, at its largest estimate around the same height as New York\u2019s State of Liberty.\u00a0Scientists rated 2024 YR4 at a 3 out of 10 on the Torino Scale, the rubric that CNEOS uses to assess the potential threat level of an asteroid\u2019s impact on Earth.\u00a0No other observed asteroids have a rating above 0, according to CNEOS.\u00a0NASA said on its planetary defence blog that several asteroids have risen on the risk list &#8220;and eventually dropped off as more data has come in,&#8221; meaning that the asteroid could eventually be reclassified as 0 risk.What happens next?The agency said it will continue to observe the asteroid until April, after which it will be too far away from the Earth until June 2028.\u00a0The risk of collision could either rise or continue to fall during this time, as scientists understand how the Earth will be rotating at the time of impact.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTThe James Webb Space Telescope will determine the asteroid\u2019s exact size in March 2025 to clarify how likely a collision could happen, NASA said.\u00a0\u00a0If the threat level rises, emergency responses around the world will be alerted to the impact risk and given support from ESA\u2019s Near Earth Object Coordination Centre, they said in a statement.\u00a0Space agencies could also conduct planetary defence missions.\u00a0In 2022, NASA\u2019s DART mission intentionally collided with the small asteroid Dimorphos and successfully changed its orbital path, the agency said.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTESA launched its Hera mission in October to return to the DART mission crash site on Dimorphos and gather data. This will be used to help form a planetary defence system against future asteroid threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic New data from US space agency believes that the 2024 YR4 asteroid now has over a 3 per cent chance of hitting the planet in 2032, making it the highest-threat asteroid ever detected.
