NASA Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Safely Pass Near Moon in 2032

New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4 will not collide with the Moon in December 2032, instead passing approximately 13,200 miles away. Initially, there was a 4.3% chance of impact, but extended tracking through February 2026 refined the asteroid's orbit, eliminating the collision risk. This update improves prediction accuracy without indicating any change in the asteroid's trajectory, providing reassurance to scientists and space operators.
