‘City killer’ asteroid 2024 YR4 is no longer a threat to Earth, but it could collide with moon instead
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially feared to be a significant threat to Earth, now poses near-zero risk to our planet, thanks to ongoing observations by NASA and the James Webb Space Telescope. However, there's a 2% chance it could collide with the Moon in 2032, reminding scientists to keep monitoring near-Earth objects closely.
