Asteroid 2024 YR4, a 60-meter-wide space rock, has a 4% chance of impacting the Moon in December 2032, potentially creating a kilometer-wide crater and a visible flash from Earth. Scientists are awaiting further observations to refine its trajectory and assess potential debris risks or opportunities for defense system testing.
