2024 YR4

2024 YR4 — asteroid, explore its interactive 3D model in Cosmoscope.

Explore 2024 YR4 in a live 3D Solar System. Follow its calculated motion and inspect real astronomical data, distances and orbital facts.

The asteroid that briefly topped the impact-risk charts in early 2025, when its chance of hitting Earth in 2032 rose to about 3%. Further tracking ruled that out, and JWST observations in 2026 showed it will miss the Moon too.
