The study concluded that, if the asteroid hits the moon, ... Astronomers initially predicted the asteroid would hit Earth on Dec. 23, 2032, and it would have enough power decimate an entire city.

The impact probability describes how likely a hazardous asteroid is to hit Earth. For example, if the impact probability is 1%, it means that in 1 of 100 cases, it hits Earth.

Chance asteroid 2024 YR4 will hit Earth down to 0.001 percent, ESA says. Feb 25, 2025. Odds plummet that asteroid will hit Earth in 2032. Feb 20, 2025.
