Orbit of asteroid 2024 YR4

Image showing the asteroid 2024 YR4’s orbit, shown in red here as it travels nail-bitingly close to Earth on 22 December 2032. Thanks to recent data, including from ESO’s Very Large Telescope, the impact chances are miniscule. The sizes of the planets here aren’t to scale, and have had their sizes increased for the sake of visibility.
