Should you be worried about 2024 YR4? Short answer = no. But I do advise you wear your seat belt when driving! More in this article by The Planetary Society (@exploreplanets).

My colleagues and I have been paying attention to potentially-Earth-impacting asteroid 2024 YR4, which Torino 1 initially and now is Torino 3 ("merits attention by astronomers"). Impact predict is 2032, but more data may reduced probability to zero.
