2024 YR4 discovered December 27, 2024

In 7 years, chances are big for an impact.



Size is between 7 and 50 megatones. If impacted on ocean, tsunamis up to 25 meters (80 feet) high. It's a danger for regional catastrphy.

Size of asteroid is still being determined. If it's more than 15 meters, mission will be send to try to devert its orbit. If less, brace for impact.

Its not very big. If it landed at the worst spot in the ocean to effect the coast of a major city (unlikely) or directly hits hits a major city (extremely unlikely) that would be bad, sure. But the odds of it even hitting the Earth at all seem to be fairly low and even lower it will hit a critical area. So in all likelihood it will miss or land in the middle of nowhere and have minimal impact.

It's a shame it isn't hitting now, if it landed in the pacific near CA it sure would stop the wildfires.
