Astronomers have upped the odds of an asteroid called 2024 YR4 striking Earth, albeit in 2032, but warn that it will most likely soon be downgraded, and miss 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.

Astronomers say there is a 2.3% chance an asteroid roughly the size of Big Ben will smash into the Earth in 2032. The odds of this big old space rock, 2024 YR4, striking us was only 1.33% last week, or about a one-in-53 chance.
