United States===NASA has issued an all-clear regarding asteroid 2024 YR, confirming there is now zero chance it will crash into the Moon in 2032. The space agency had previously predicted a 4.3% chance of a direct hit. This updated information comes after observations by the James Webb Space Telescope in February helped scientists refine the asteroid's orbit. The new data indicates that asteroid 2024 YR will miss the Moon by 13,200 miles (21,200 kilometers) on December 22, 2032. The asteroid, discovered at the end of 2024, was initially thought to potentially threaten Earth, but scientists had already ruled out a collision with Earth for the next century.
