@abc7chicago: PHEW! Scientists have finally given the all-clear to Earth from a newly discovered asteroid. After two months of observations, scientists have almost fully ruled out any threat from the asteroid 2024 YR4, NASA and the European Space Agency said Tuesday. At one point, the odds of a strike in 2032 were as high as about 3% and topped the world's asteroid-risk lists. ESA has since lowered the odds to 0.001%. NASA has it down to 0.0017% - meaning the asteroid will safely pass Earth in 2032 and there's no threat of impact for the next century.
