Astronomers have upped the odds of an asteroid called 2024 YR4 striking Earth, albeit in 2032, but warn that it will most likely soon be downgraded, and miss Earth.

A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.

An asteroid could hit Earth, but scientists are continuing to gather data to understand its trajectory and potential impact to Earth.
