Snippet from the article “The estimated flight path of an asteroid the size of Big Ben’s tower will see it pass over some of the world’s most populous cities, according to the latest data from Nasa.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 currently has a 2.3 per cent chance of hitting Earth on 22 December, 2032, making it the biggest extra-terrestrial threat in more than two decades.
Scientists have calculated that the impact risk corridor of the space rock stretches eastwards from the Pacific Ocean, over South America, the Atlantic Ocean, Africa, the Middle East and into Asia.”

We literally aren’t going to have any better idea on how close it will get until AT LEAST 2028. There are plenty of things going on in this world right now that the MSM can chuck at us to instill fear. Can we drop this one please?
#PRÉCIS: Global Attention Fixed on Asteroid 2024 YR4 as It Threatens Major Cities
Asteroid 2024 YR4, an imposing space rock about the size of Big Ben’s tower, is being monitored closely by scientists due to its 2.3% risk of striking Earth on 22 December 2032. The asteroid’s potential path could affect more than 100 million people as it traverses eight of the world’s most populous cities including Bogotá, Abidjan, Lagos, Khartoum, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Dhaka. This trajectory has placed it as the most significant extraterrestrial threat in over two decades.
With an impact power estimated at 500 times that of the Hiroshima bomb, the potential devastation could span a 50-kilometre radius. However, international space agencies, buoyed by previous successful tests such as NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) in 2022, are actively working on strategies to avert any crisis. These efforts are complemented by the ground-based observations that will continue until April, after which the asteroid will not be visible until June 2028.
NASA is also leveraging the James Webb Space Telescope for enhanced observations in March 2025, aiming to refine predictions about the asteroid’s orbit and potential impact. There remains hope within the global scientific community that further observations will either downgrade or clarify the threat posed by Asteroid 2024 YR4.
Well, for those of us not in the path of destruction, maybe the dust cloud will delay global warming by a few years. I wonder if the chances are high enough for significant migration out of the danger zone?
We don’t need to worry, we’ll soon see if we reach a higher probability, if it is confirmed, nothing that an impact of 50 tons at 15km/s that doesn’t solve would have enough energy to displace the trajectory of this object. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it.
Friendly reminder that if you, or any one you know, is told to sell / give away your belongings in response to this, don’t listen! It’s a trick!
I hope governments worldwide collaborate on a plan to reduce or eliminate the risk if this asteroid deviates from its trajectory and threatens populated areas. With seven years to prepare, having contingency plans in place is crucial in case the worst happens.
I wonder what NASA data will show in a couple weeks.
Yes, but they’re brown so we don’t care – wish that was a joke but NASA will be directed not to care
