City-killer asteroid 2024 YR4's chances of hitting Earth increase; NASA releases likely impact zone list–Check if you are in danger?

NASA has identified asteroid 2024 YR4 with a 3.1% chance of hitting Earth on 22 December 2032. While the probability remains low, its potential impact could be devastating for a city. The asteroids projected path includes regions across South Asia, Africa, and the Atlantic Ocean. Experts stress that ongoing observations will refine its trajectory, and potential deflection methods exist. The James Webb Space Telescope will conduct further analysis in March 2025 to provide clearer data on its risk.
