The date of the end of the world is known

The IAU has announced the date of the end of the world: On December 22, 2032, an asteroid with a diameter of 70 meters may collide with the Earth

The International Astronomical Union (IAU) uses the Turin Scale to assess the risk of asteroid impacts with the Earth. The current value of the asteroid 2024 YR4 is 3, the only asteroid with a value above zero.

The probability of impact is 6%, with possible destruction within a radius of 30 km. The remaining 94% indicate a flyby at a distance of 60,000 km – the trajectory will be clarified by observations in 2028/2029.
