A city-killer asteroid is currently on NASA’s radar because it has a small chance of hitting Earth in 2032. However, new reports suggest that it could hit the Moon instead. Asteroid 2024 YR4 is ...
Now, new calculations by University of Arizona astronomer David Rankin have reportedly found that there is a slim chance of about 0.3 per cent of the 90-metre-wide asteroid crashing onto the Moon.
The asteroid, measuring between 130 to 300 feet wide, was discovered in December 2024. While the risk to Earth is negligible, 2024 YR4 has a slightly higher chance of impacting the moon.
NASA now considers the risk minimal. There is still a 1% chance the asteroid could hit the Moon. Scientists continue to monitor its trajectory closely. This ongoing observation is crucial for ...
