Asteroid YR4, dubbed the 'destroyer of cities', was discovered in 2024 and initially had a significant impact risk. However, new observations have reduced the probability of a catastrophic impact to almost zero. The European Space Agency has emphasized the importance of continued asteroid monitoring and efforts to develop defenses against a potential impact.
