Asteroid 2024 YR4, once thought to threaten Earth, may instead target the moon, prompting scientists to rethink planetary defense strategies. A potential impact could create a spectacular meteor shower and pose risks to lunar missions.
The James Webb Space Telescope has made crucial observations of asteroid 2024 YR4, revealing a rising risk of a collision with the moon in 2032. While Earth is safe, the moon's fate hangs in the balance.
Asteroid 2024 YR4, once deemed a significant threat to Earth, is now under scrutiny for a slight increase in its chance of impacting the moon in 2032. With new data from JWST refining its trajectory, experts confirm the moon is safe from harm.
A new study highlights how rising greenhouse gas emissions could shrink Earth's upper atmosphere, increasing the risk of satellite collisions and impacting future satellite launches. Experts warn that space is a finite resource that must be managed wisely.
