Recent reports from NASA indicate that the chances of a giant asteroid, named Asteroid 2024 YR4, striking Earth have decreased to 1.5%. While this probability is lower than previous estimates, international space agencies are actively working on a plan to potentially obliterate the asteroid if necessary.
Measuring between 130 and 300 feet in width, the asteroid is comparable in size to the Statue of Liberty. If it were to impact Earth in December 2032, approximately 110 million people would be at risk due to its estimated speed of 38,000 mph.
