Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

In recent days, there has been increasing alarm about 2024 YR4, an asteroid that is on course to fly towards Earth in 2032. There is a roughly 2.3 per cent chance that it will collide with Earth.

Despite a brief panic, asteroid 2024 YR4 isn't likely to hit us anytime soon, but we can still study the asteroid up close to help us understand these space rocks.

However, if Asteroid 2024 YR4 does hit Earth, most people won’t even know it happened. "This is not a get-worried kind of situation," asteroid and comet expert Teddy Kareta told FOX Weather.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines earlier this year when its probability of impacting Earth in 2032 rose as high as 3%. While an Earth impact has now been ruled out, the asteroid's story continues.
