Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a small but not negligible chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032, prompting international monitoring.
With a current estimated 1.3% impact probability, scientists are using advanced telescopes to precisely determine its trajectory.
International collaboration, including the UN, is coordinating observations and developing potential mitigation strategies if the threat increases.
While a collision is unlikely, this event underscores the importance of advanced warning systems and our capacity to deflect potentially hazardous asteroids.
