A decently big (50-meter) asteroid called 2024 YR4 has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Here's what we know, and why I'm not terribly worried about it.

Will the asteroid 2024 YR4 hit Earth in 2032? Probably not.

DON’T PANIC! At the moment there’s a 99% chance it’ll miss.

@badastro I'm panicking because the odds are way too low.

@freezed00 @badastro Especially with the “Don’t Look Up!” President in the White House. Not knowing what he will have destroyed until 2029 and who or what’s coming after… 💫☄️🫣💥
