No chance asteroid will slam into the moon in 2032, NASA says - ABC News
Overview
NASA announced asteroid 2024 YR4 now has zero chance of impacting the Moon in 2032 after updated observations refined its orbit, removing that specific impact risk. The reported magnetospheric cavity may lessen some solar wind and charged‑particle effects near the Moon but does not affect asteroid trajectories or collision probabilities. A separate newly discovered roughly 62‑foot asteroid will pass closer to Earth than the Moon on Monday without posing a threat, underscoring the importance of continued tracking and public observation of near‑Earth objects.
