Asteroid 2024 YR4 Update — 2026-04-08

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a near‑Earth object discovered in 2024, continues to be tracked by observatories and survey programs. Ongoing astrometric observations through 2026‑04‑08 have refined its orbit; current solutions show no predicted impact in the near future and no new hazards have been identified.

Asteroid 2024 YR4, a near‑Earth object discovered in 2024, continues to be tracked by observatories and survey programs. Ongoing astrometric observations through 2026‑04‑08 have refined its orbit; current solutions show no predicted impact in the near future and no new hazards have been identified.

The object’s brightness suggests it is on the order of tens of metres across, and teams are using follow‑up measurements to improve size and trajectory estimates. For the latest official data and orbit diagrams, see the Minor Planet Center and NASA’s Center for Near‑Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).
