What causes asteroid 2024 YR4’s impact probability to keep changing? Find out here

NASA and ESA are closely monitoring asteroid 2024 YR4, which initially had a higher collision probability with Earth than the Apophis asteroid. New data has since lowered the impact risk to 1.5%, with continued observations expected to further decrease this probability. Scientists will reassess in 2028 for more precise calculations.
