Asteroid 2024 YR4: Knowing the Dangers and Watching It Continuously.
Reading
Scientists have found a new asteroid and are watching it closely. The asteroid might hit Earth in 2032, but the chances are very low.
Right now, there is only a 2% chance the asteroid will hit us, which means there is a 98% chance it will miss. As scientists learn more about the asteroid's path, the chances of it hitting Earth might go up or down.
Powerful telescopes will look at the asteroid in March to learn more about it. After that, the asteroid will be hard to see until 2028.
Asteroids are like big rocks that orbit the sun, and scientists think they are leftovers from when the solar system was formed. There are millions of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter in a place called the asteroid belt.
Sometimes, asteroids get pushed out of the asteroid belt, like the one scientists are watching now. This asteroid is not a big worry right now, and scientists will keep watching it to make sure it's safe.
