Asteroid YR4: Mondtreffer hätte Folgen für die Erde Wenn der Asteroid 2024 YR4 in sieben Jahren den Mond treffen sollte, wäre ein spektakuläres Himmelsschauspiel die Folge. Denn der lunare Einschlag des 60-Meter-Brockens könnte bis zu zehn Millionen Kilogramm Material zur Erde schleudern, wie eine Analyse enthüllt. Diese Trümmerbröckchen würden einen dichten Meteorschauer auslösen, der auch Satelliten in der Erdumlaufbahn schädigen könnte. Noch liegt das Risiko für einen Mondeinschlag aber nur bei 4,3 Prozent – Tendenz steigend.

#AsteroidYR4 is going to hit the earth/or the moon in 2032.
#Asteroid I hope #NASA is working on a good plan to destroy this thing.

Asteroid has a very small chance of hitting Earth in 2032, but a collision could devastate a city The chances of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth are small but fluctuating.

In emergency decision, James Webb telescope will study 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 before its close approach to Earth In a rare "time-critical" decision, the James Webb Space Telescope will study the true size of the "potentially hazardous" asteroid 2024 YR4 twice over the next few months. The asteroid has a roughly ...

Whilst on the one hand we are being told not to worry, at the same time the James Webb Telescope is being focused on the "city-killer"

Odds of an asteroid impact in 2032 just went up. Here's why experts say you shouldn't worry "We are still at 97.7% chance of a miss from this asteroid."

Since the discovery of the Asteroid back in December, the chance of an Impact with Planet Earth has nearly doubled to 2.3%

But apparently this, very high risk of an Asteroid impact, is being downplayed so as to not cause panic.

ESA actively monitoring near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 The European Space Agency (ESA) Planetary Defence Office is closely monitoring the recently discovered asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a very small chance of impacting Earth in 2032. This page was l...

The probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 may impact Earth on 22 December 2032 is 1.2%.

That's actually high (for an Asteroid).
