The exact trajectory of the asteroid is still unknown. The calculations are constantly changing, as the object is too far away and has a weak brightness.

The Asteroid YR4 continues to cause scientists. Initially, the possibility of its collision on the ground in 2032 was estimated at 1.2%, so the indicator grew by 2.2%. NASA updated the forecast and increased the likelihood of a blow to 3.1%. Bild reported it.

It is noted that the exact trajectory of the asteroid is still unknown. According to a specialist from Space Rainer Kreken, the calculations are constantly changing, as the object is too far away and has a weak brightness. He believes it will take months to obtain the final data.

For more accurate observations, astronomers plan to use the James Webb Space Telescope, which is in a good position between Earth and Sun and having a strong infrared room.

As you know, the asteroid size is from 40 to 90 meters. A possible radius of destruction is about 50 kilometers, but the likelihood of entering a population remains low. The object may fall into the ocean or in a deserted area.

Remember that China has begun a set of experts in the newly created planet defense forces due to the Asteroid 2024 YR4, with the opportunity to meet the land in 2032.

As reported, on January 5, the Asteroid 2020 BC6 flew near the ground, which was considered “potentially dangerous.” The length of this thing in the sky is 248 meters.
