Asteroid 2024 YR4 may miss Earth in 2032 and hit the moon instead
The probability of it impacting either is very low
Forward-looking: The asteroid that has 1-in-43 odds of hitting Earth in 2032 has an even smaller chance of colliding with something else instead: our moon. The object, around half the size of a football field, would cause an explosion on the lunar surface 343 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima, and could be visible from our planet.

Delayed by Hurricane Milton, NASA prepares Europa Clipper for journey to Jupiter's icy moon Europa
The voyage will span 1.8 billion miles over 5.5 years
In a nutshell: The Europa Clipper mission is an important step in our understanding of potentially habitable worlds beyond Earth. By studying Europa's composition, internal structure, and potential for hosting organic compounds, scientists hope to gain insights into the prevalence of habitable environments in our solar system and beyond.
