The asteroid, big enough to wipe out an entire city, now has a higher chance of smashing into our home planet in 2032, according to NASA.

    3.1% odds are nothing to sneeze at. Ever played D&D?

    From the article

    In a new update, the space agency has increased the chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth, with the probability of impact rising to 3.1 per cent or one-in-32 odds of impact — the highest probability of a collision yet.

    IE - 3%.

    3% events happen all of the time!

    The article stresses that this probability has been going up over the past year or so, which is likely neither here nor there, but I can totally understand how it’s alarming in a post-COVID world.

    I mean honestly if the asteroid decided to wipeout out northern Florida, of probably wouldn’t feel too bad.
