Paris, France (SPX) Jun 30, 2025 Asteroid 2024 YR4 gained attention after its discovery in late December 2024, when automated systems indicated a small chance of Earth impact in 2032. This probability briefly rose to 3%, prompting a global planetary defence response. However, further observations by early 2025 eliminated the threat to Earth. Despite this reassurance, the final recorded trajectory of 2024 YR4 left a ling
While it had raised a global defence alert earlier this year due to a possible collision with the Earth, the 2024 YR4 asteroid now presents a greater risk of hitting the Moon in 2032 than our planet. According to the latest estimates, it has 4.3% probability of colliding with the Moon in seven years and up to 10% of the debris generated by the impact could reach the Earth. If this happens, these fragments could cause a shower of meteors and [...…
