2024YR4 will NOT hit the moon.
Finlay is skeptical.

Once deemed the riskiest asteroid ever observed, asteroid 2024 YR4’s path is now clearer www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/s... #space #astronomy #science #asteroid #2024YR4
OK, and ending this particular flurry of activity (I think), here's our Research Note of the AAS giving some more details about our work on #2024YR4. This publication is word-limited and figure-limited, but hopefully will hold folks until we publish a fuller paper in coming weeks! 🔭🧪
Utilizzando il James Webb, gli astronomi hanno ottenuto nuove osservazioni dell’asteroide #2024YR4 che hanno permesso di affinare la sua orbita ed escludere definitivamente qualsiasi #impatto anche con la #Luna nel 2032.

I am hoping your thirst for #2024YR4 is not yet slaked! Here’s the #JWST blog’s take on things, plus we look forward to a more technical note coming our next week!
Thanks to the Bard of Planetary Defense (@squigglyvolcano.bsky.social) for a quick summary of yesterday's #2024YR4 news and the role our #JWST data played in the tale.
Nuove osservazioni dell’asteroide #2024YR4 compiute nel febbraio di quest'anno con il James Webb Space Telescope hanno ridotto l'incertezza sull’orbita: nel dicembre 2032, non solo non colpirà la Terra ma neppure la Luna.

1/8 ☄️ ASTEROID 2024 YR4 WILL NOT STRIKE THE MOON ☄️
This 60-metre space rock initially posed a dire threat to Earth, and then our lunar surface.
We finally know its true trajectory.

#2024YR4 will not come so close to Earth and Moon again until at least the mid-2050s.
But its orbit will still have a very low minimum distance from Earth's.
For a longer-term trajectory prediction; wait until after the 2032 flyby.
JWST confirms that #2024YR4 will miss the Moon in 2032.
And apparently also confirming that the potential precovery observation was indeed in the right spot.

B1080 propultsatzailea 25garren aldiz jaurti da, bere aurreko jaurtiketatik 44 egunetara. Cañaveral lurmuturreko 40. Espazio Jaurtiketa Konplexua (SLC-40) izan da jaurtiketa gunea. Lurreratzea, "A Shortfall of Gravitas" portu aeroespazialeko plataforma autonomoan izan da, Ozeano Atlantikoan.
29 km-ko altueran, hegaldiaren amaiera sistema autonomoak (FTS) aktibatu eta autosuntsitu da.
NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb espazio teleskopioaren behaketa berriek baieztatu dute objektua 20.000 km baino gehiagoko distantziara segurtasunez pasatuko dela.
Azken jaurtiketak:
#Falcon9 suziri baten #Starlink10-40 misioa, #B1080-25 propultsatzailea erabiliz, 29 sateliterekin.
#Kairos suziriaren hirugarren jaurtiketa ere, porrot egin du.
#2024YR4 asteroideak ez du Ilargiaren kontra talka egingo 2032an.

El impacto liberaría una energía similar al estallido de un arma termonuclear de tamaño medio, provocando una lluvia de meteoros masiva en la Tierra. Sudamérica está en la «zona de aterrizaje» de los restos lunares. #asteroide #2024yr4 #luna

sailing-dulce.nl/home/article... #2024YR4 #asteroïde #inslag #Maan #satellieten Maandag 24-11-2025 Begin februari van dit jaar schreef ik over de aardscheerder 2024 YR4, een asteroïde die op 27 december vorig jaar werd ontdekt. Men schatte de doorsnede van het brok ruimtepuin toen op 40 tot 100 me..
If #2024YR4 strikes the Moon in 2032, it won’t shatter our satellite (like in #seveneves) but a blast that big would fling dust and rock outward, spiking Earth’s micrometeoroids for days, hammering satellites and spacecraft with a storm of tiny, violent debris. 4.3% impact probability.

Reviewing the case of #2024YR4 as we approach the first anniversary of its discovery.
And, to emphasize, it will miss the Earth.
It might not be a very “merry” Christmas seven years from now.
There’s a >1% chance that asteroid #2024YR4, which is about 40 to 90m wide, will hit Earth on 22 December 2032.

EL RIESGO DE IMPACTO CON ASTEROIDES y el protocolo de actuación explicado por el astrofísico @joseptrigo.bsky.social Trigo del @csic.es @ice-csic.bsky.social @ieec.cat, con énfasis en las futuras aproximaciones de #2024YR4, en esta entrevista publicada en #larazones:
▶️ www.larazon.es/ciencia/jose...
There are several more presentations at #EPSCDPS2025 on the case of #2024YR4: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC-DPS2025....
For those unaware:
2024 YR4 will not impact Earth, but has a chance of impacting the Moon in 2032.
The next data expected will be by @asrivkin.bsky.social et al. in 2026.
JeongAhn et al. have considered the hypothetical kinetic impactor deflection of 2024 YR4: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC-DPS2025...
#2024YR4 will miss Earth and almost certainly will miss the Moon. But this is interesting as an example of the smallest asteroids that might be worth deflecting.
