"For many years, groups around the world have rehearsed what to do in case we discover an asteroid that might impact Earth. Well, this time is for real. Asteroid 2024 YR4 has been placed at Level 3 on the Torino impact scale, with a 1.2 percent chance of impact with Earth in late 2032. This estimate will likely change as more observations are conducted, but it has activated the global network of centers that focus on planetary protection – and that is a good thing."
It is not a dinosaur extinction event object, but a splash in the Atlantic might be pretty impressive and not as performance art.
