Recent observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope indicate that asteroid 2024 YR4, initially a concern for Earth, now poses a potential collision risk to the Moon. While the probability is currently at 4.3% for lunar impact in 2032, scientists are closely monitoring its trajectory. Astronomers will restudy its orbit in 2028 to ensure humanity is prepared.
