“The probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 will strike the Moon on 22 December 2032 is now approximately 4 percent, and this probability was still slowly rising as the asteroid faded out of view ...

Asteroid 2024 YR4 made headlines earlier this year when its probability of impacting Earth in 2032 rose as high as 3%. While an Earth impact has now been ruled out, the asteroid's story continues.

A recent study, yet to be peer-reviewed, has revealed that asteroid YR4 smashing into our moon could have big implications here on Earth.

For a short time, the Moon blocked astronomers from tracking the asteroid clearly. The full moon’s brightness made it impossible to detect YR4’s faint signal.

Astronomers say the odds of an asteroid hitting the moong have increased, and that may still impact Earth.
