A massive asteroid, Asteroid 2024 YR4, a 15-story building-sized space rock, poses a small but significant risk of crashing into the Moon in 2032, potentially triggering a series of dangerous space events. If it impacts, it could create the largest lunar crater in 5,000 years, ejecting debris that may reach Earth and trigger a destructive meteor shower. This lunar collision could also disrupt thousands of satellites in low-Earth orbit, causing operational challenges for space infrastructure. While current chances of impact are slim, the potential consequences for astronauts, satellites, and Earth’s atmosphere are significant. Scientists await improved observations after 2028 to better assess the asteroid’s path and risks. ‘City-Killer’ Asteroid: NASA Issues Warning of Asteroid 2025 BS4 To Zoom Past Earth Today at 10 Times Speed of a Bullet, Here’s What You Should Know.
