What is the current probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting Earth, and what are the potential consequences of such an impact?

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a 200-foot-wide space rock, has a 1.3 percent chance of impacting Earth on December 22, 2032. Initial observations placed it on NASA's Sentry risk list, but further data is needed to refine its trajectory and impact probability. The asteroid's size suggests potential for significant damage if it hits a populated area.
