Asteroid 2024 YR4, recently detected, is being monitored by NASA due to its potential Earth-crossing trajectory. Estimated to be between 50 and 100 meters in diameter, it could pose a significant impact risk if it collides with Earth. The closest approach is projected for 2031. While the impact risk is currently low, NASA is refining trajectory calculations and has identified potential impact zones, mainly in the Northern Hemisphere. Continuous monitoring and potential future missions are planned to study its composition and trajectory.
