Posting in a soon to be legendary thread that will be wiped from existence (like everything else) when this thing hits. Humans have had a good run but it's time to be cleansed.

Don't worry, @LadyStanley will survive the impact & continue her legendary volunteer reporting for the post-apocalyptic version of HFBoards ... ala Mad Max ...

Why asteroid 2024 YR4 is unlikely to hit Earth in 2032 and how scientists keep track

Scientists say the threat of a newly discovered asteroid has risen slightly in the past few weeks, as the world's telescopes rush to track its course.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — The threat of a newly discovered asteroid has risen slightly in the past few weeks, as the world’s telescopes rush to track its course. But the chance of an impact is still quite slim.

New calculations suggest there’s a 2% chance the space rock 2024 YR4 will smack Earth in 2032. This also means there’s a 98% chance it will safely pass our planet. The odds of a strike will almost certainly continue to go up and down as the asteroid’s path around the sun is better understood, and astronomers said there’s a good chance the risk likely will drop to zero.
