Nuclear missiles, the DART mission and space lasers have been floated as potential solutions to the YR4 asteroid.

An asteroid could hit Earth, but scientists are continuing to gather data to understand its trajectory and potential impact to Earth.

The asteroid named "2024 YR4," which is about the size of a football field, now has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. That's up from 1.3%. That little fact has hit the internet and people are reacting exactly how you'd imagine.
