The odds keep growing that an asteroid big enough to wipe out a city will collide with Earth in seven years, according to NASA. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson joins NewsNation's "CUOMO" to discuss how to stop the asteroid from hitting earth.

In the ‘extremely low’ chance the asteroid hits earth, it could strike an area extending from the eastern Pacific Ocean to South Asia, possibly even destroying a city.

The potentially hazardous asteroid 2024 YR4 caused consternation over the last few weeks as its odds of hitting Earth in 2032 dramatically rose. Now, those odds have plummeted to near-zero, as astronomers’ calculations of the asteroid’s path have been updated to indicate that Earth is almost certainly not in the space rock’s plans.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson says we needn’t worry about the “mansion-sized” asteroid heading toward Earth. The chances of 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth keep shifting, NASA reports. In a recent update shared by NASA the asteroid now has a 1.

NASA astronomers have ratcheted up their risk predictions that the 2024 YR4 asteroid could hit one of the most densely populated areas on Earth, rating it at the highest threat level ever issued for a large space rock.

Scientists at NASA say an asteroid, known as 2024 YR4, has a 3.1% probability of hitting Earth in 2032. That's up about 1% from just a few days ago. The asteroid is roughly the size of the Statue of Liberty.

Astronomers are keeping a close watch on asteroid 2024 YR4. This asteroid has a small probability of impacting the Earth in December of 2032.
