Scientists discovered a new asteroid, 60 meters wide, that may hit the Earth in 2032.
Experts, ‘2024 It was announced that the asteroid called ‘YR4’ will come very close to Earth in December 2032. According to the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA, this meteorite could come as close as 106 thousand kilometers to Earth.However, considering the uncertainties in the orbit, there is also the possibility of it hitting Earth directly. According to current data, the possible collision point covers a region stretching from South America to the Atlantic Ocean and South Africa. However, scientists state that definitive information will only emerge with further observations.The size and structure of the asteroid are the most important factors determining the size of its impact. According to estimates, ‘2024 YR4’ is about 60 meters wide, but this measurement may change depending on the brightness of its surface.Astronomers plan to make more accurate calculations by closely monitoring ‘2024 YR4’ in the coming years.In 2028, the asteroid will pass closer to Earth, which will allow for more precise data on its size, structure and orbit. As a result of these studies, it will be clear whether ‘2024 YR4’ really poses a threat in 2032.
