There’s a tiny chance the asteroid headed for Earth could hit the moon
YR4 does smash down on the lunar surface, the explosion might be visible from Earth and would leave a new crater on the near side of the moon
If the Moon Hit Earth, Could Humanity Survive?🌑🏚️
What if the Moon crashed into Earth? This terrifying scenario could cause catastrophic global destruction, altering tides, weather patterns, and even wiping out life as we know it. In this video, we dive into the science behind such an event and explore how it could unfold in real life.

NASA to study "city-killer" asteroid as odds of hitting Earth go up
Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2032.
Asteroid's odds of hitting Earth went up. Scientists aren't surprised.
It's certain that recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4 will swing close to Earth in 2032. The chances of an impact remain low — but with relatively limited observations so far, the odds are in flux.
An asteroid has a very small chance to hit Earth. What happens if it does?
Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.
