YR4 has now been reassigned to Torino Scale Level Zero, the level for 'No Hazard' as additional tracking of its orbital path has reduced its possibility of intersecting the Earth to below the 1-in-1000 threshold.

But after reaching the top of NASA's asteroid risk list, the chances of YR4, which is estimated to measure 130-300 feet (40–90 meters) across, hitting Earth has dropped dramatically. According to the latest calculations from NASA, the likelihood has dropped down to 0.0027 percent, or one in 37,037.

After analysing asteroid 2024 YR4 and its path, NASA scientists determined the possibility that the rock will hit Earth in seven years' time is just one in 59,000
