A City-Killer Asteroid on a Collision Course?
Scientists are tracking Asteroid 2024 YR4, a near-Earth object (NEO) with the potential to become the most significant impact event of our lifetime. If this city-sized asteroid were to collide with Earth, the consequences could be catastrophic—triggering shockwaves, firestorms, and climate disruption. Experts from NASA and ESA are racing to refine its trajectory and assess the true risk. Could we stop it in time? What would happen if it struck?
Find out the truth before it’s too late.
