In February, NASA reported that the chances of falling on the Earth of the asteroid 2024 years fell half after eight years – to 1.5 %. It was discovered in December 2024.
According to the observations, the asteroid of 2024 years with a diameter of about 60 meters turned out to be not a common potato, like most asteroids, but a flat disk like a hockey ball. In addition, it turned at very high speed – a revolution after 20 minutes. It is thought that the asteroid comes from the main belt between Mars and Moc and very rich in silicate.
Astronomer at the Gagarin Festival in Kemerovo talked about the inevitable of the collapse of a giant meteorite down to earth.
The last time such a major asteroid showed a serious risk in 2004: After that, the object called Apophis had 2.7% of the chance of colliding with the Earth by 2029, but the next observations have excluded such an opportunity.
Earlier, the main astronomical events of the spring of 2025 were named.
