Researchers say there’s a 1.3 percent chance that the space rock 2024 YR4 could strike our planet — but not until December 2032.

A newly discovered asteroid has a tiny chance of striking Earth in 2032. NASA and the European Space Agency said Wednesday the chance of impact is slightly more than 1%.

NASA and other space agencies are tracking 2024 YR4, a near-Earth asteroid with a small chance of impacting our planet in 2032.

A 200-foot-wide asteroid found in December has a one-in-83 chance of hitting Earth, according to space agencies.

NASA and other space agencies are keeping a close eye on the asteroid - which is estimated to be between 130ft and 330ft across - as it drops into the sun's orbit

The odds of a recently discovered massive asteroid hitting Earth within the next seven years are shockingly not zero. Dubbed 2024 YR4, the approximately 150-foot-wide asteroid was first spotted by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) on Dec.

A 196-foot-wide asteroid has a 1-in-83 chance of striking Earth in 2032. An expert tells Space.com where this asteroid could impact our planet and what level of destruction it could cause.

NASA says there's a tiny chance it could collide with Earth, and it's much too soon to know where that impact could be.

The asteroid is unlikely to be cause for concern, but its detection has triggered planetary defence response procedures for the first time
