0:28.6	On this day in history, the first magazine in the U.S. is published.
0:32.3	That's all coming up on cool stuff.
0:34.2	You may have heard by now about the asteroid that has a small chance of crashing into
0:39.7	Earth. Now NASA astronomers have reported that the chances of an asteroid strike in our planet
0:44.6	within the next decade have doubled in just a matter of weeks. The asteroid named 2024 YR4 was
0:52.2	discovered shortly after Christmas when it made a close approach to Earth, and they now say
0:56.9	it could potentially impact Earth in December of 2032, as it completes another journey around
1:02.8	its orbit, according to NASA's center of Near Earth Object Studies. Initially, when the asteroid
1:08.3	was detected, NASA estimated only a 1.3% probability of an impact.
1:13.9	However, recent calculations have increased this likelihood to 2.1%.
1:18.5	While this percentage still remains low, such odds are considered uncommon that, according to
1:24.3	Davidae for Nokia, a navigation engineer with NASA's jet propulsion laboratory,
1:28.4	he says getting something with a probability this high like 2% is high for us. On the Torino scale,
1:34.5	a system used to categorize the impact hazard posed by near-Earth objects, 24 YR2 currently ranks
1:40.9	at a 3 out of 10. For Nokia noted that most space objects typically rank at 0.
1:47.2	The asteroid is currently moving away from Earth, following its elongated orbit that takes
1:51.5	it around the Sun and between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
1:55.1	According to NASA, because of this unusual trajectory, the asteroid will disappear from
1:59.6	view starting in April and will not be observable
