Asteroid 2024 YR4 not a threat to Earth, Subaru Telescope affirms
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially raising impact concerns, is confirmed safe for Earth after precise observations by the Subaru Telescope. Early warnings, initiated by ATLAS, noted a minimal risk, but coordinated global efforts and advanced data from the Hyper Suprime-Cam have reduced this risk to nearly zero. This underscores the importance of international cooperation in monitoring space threats.
