New information is pushing Asteroid 2024 YR4 off of our front pages. Initial estimates gave it a 2.8% chance of striking Earth in 2032. Now, the European Space Agency says the chance of it striking our planet is down to a paltry 0.

Scientists emphasize that this case highlights the importance of continuous asteroid tracking. Advanced monitoring helps refine predictions and ensures that potential threats are identified and ruled out long before they become a real concern.
