Asteroid 2024 YR4 is a building-size space rock measuring between 174 and 220 feet ( 53 to 67 meters ) in diameter.

If an asteroid this size were to hit Earth , it could wipe out a city with the equivalent force of 500 Hiroshima bombs.

The asteroid is currently blazing toward the outer solar system, beyond the view of Earth -based telescopes.
