# Asteroid 2024 YR4 kan vara på väg mot jorden
Author: Magi-cat

Asteroiden är ganska stor i sammanhanget, mellan 40 och 100 m i diameter, och viss risk för kollision kan inte uteslutas, enligt experter.

"But there's some good news for Earth: 2024 YR4 is only around 180 feet (55 meters) across, which means it is too small to end human civilization if it collided with Earth. But it could wipe out a major city. Scientists estimate that it would release about 8 megatons of energy upon impact — more than 500 times that of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima, Japan."

... Fast nu lär den inte längre utgöra någon fara. 🌝

"The likelihood of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032 rose and fell last week. NASA's impact odds are now so slim that the asteroid is no longer a hazard on the Torino asteroid scale."
