"Nasa Warns of Impending 2024 Asteroid Collision Threat to Earth"

NASA has warned that a "lost asteroid" named 2007 FT3, which was first spotted in 2007 but lost soon after, has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2024 or 2030. The probability of impact is estimated to be 1 in 10 million or 1 in 11.5 million, respectively. If it were to hit, the asteroid could cause regional destruction but not a global catastrophe like the extinction of the dinosaurs. NASA tracks over 32,000 known near-Earth asteroids and considers 29075 (1950 DA) as the second riskiest, with a 1 in 34,500 chance of hitting Earth in 2880, posing a threat to humanity's existence.
