A recently discovered asteroid, YR4, has a nearly 4% chance of hitting the Moon in 2032.
The asteroid, which is estimated to be about as big as a 10-storey building, was discovered in 2024 and there were initially fears that the celestial body could hit the Earth. At one point scientists estimated that there was a 3% chance that YR4 would hit the Earth. That has now been reduced to 0.001%.
However, NASA says it believes that there is a 3.8% chance that it will hit the Moon in 2032.
