NASA's latest findings reveal that the asteroid 2024 YR4, initially thought to be on a collision course with Earth, is now predicted to impact the Moon instead. Measuring up to 220 feet, this celestial body has caught the attention of the planetary defense community.
Asteroid 2024 YR4 was once feared to have a 3% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but the Webb Space Telescope's latest images show it's much less threatening. Discover what these findings mean for future space threats!
In early 2023, asteroid 2024 YR4 raised alarms with a 1% chance of hitting Earth. Now, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists are revealing its unique characteristics and the importance of studying such space rocks for future planetary defense.
The James Webb Space Telescope has successfully observed asteroid 2024 YR4, revealing it may be larger and rockier than once thought. While Earth is safe, a moon impact remains possible in 2032!
Discover the latest developments on asteroid 2024 YR4 as its impact probability on Earth fluctuates dramatically. Learn how astronomers are tracking its trajectory and the influence of full moon visibility on observations.
