Asteroid 2024 YR4 reaches level 3 on the Torino Scale
Asteroid 2024 YR4 is most likely in the range of 40 to 90 meters (130 to 300 feet) in size. This estimate is based on measurements of the asteroid’s brightness. The size cannot be further constrained without thermal infrared observations, radar observations, or imagery from a spacecraft that could closely approach the asteroid.

ESA actively monitoring near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4
This result is consistent with self-reliant estimates made by NASA’s Center for Near-earth Object Studies and NEODyS. Asteroid 2024 YR4 is now rated at Level 3 on the Torino Impact Hazard scale: a close encounter that warrants attention from astronomers and the public. It is indeed critically important to remember that an asteroid’s impact probability frequently enough …

NASA Shares Observations of Recently-Identified Near Earth Asteroid
The asteroid,wich is estimated to be about 130 to 300 feet wide,caught astronomers’ attention when it rose on the NASA automated Sentry risk list on Dec. 31, 2024. the Sentry list includes any known near-Earth asteroids that have a non-zero probability of impacting Earth in the future.

97 % chance that he dose not touch us
Actually,as NASA reminds us,it also means that there is more than 97 % chance that it never touches us. It should be continued to observe it for the moment, in order to study more in depth the trajectory it follows, and above all, if it risks crossing our home.
For the moment, we are still limited in terms of facts. NASA considers, according to surveys of its brightness, that this geocroiser (the name given to asteroids that cross the orbit of the earth) Between 40 and 90 meters.
