Thanks to NASA Webb Telescope, we have more information about asteroid 2024 YR4. It's about the size of a 10-story building. Based on data from Webb and ground-based telescopes, the asteroid also has a nearly 4% chance of impacting the Moon in 2032. go.nasa.gov/42eQI8o









A new observation from NASA Webb Telescope of asteroid 2024 YR4 has improved our knowledge of where the asteroid will be on Dec. 22, 2032 by nearly 20%, thus raising the chance of a lunar impact to 4.3%. 2024 YR4 is now too far to observe until 2028. go.nasa.gov/3HnB9om
