Phew! NASA Rules Out Asteroid Smashup on the Moon in 2032

An animated image shows how NASA has refined the probability of a 2032 lunar impact by asteroid 2024 YR4. The first image shows the range of the asteroid's potential locations based on observations made in the spring of 2025 (4.3% impact probability), and the second image shows the potential locations based on observations made in February 2026 (zero percent impact probability).

Here’s one less thing to worry about — or to look forward to: NASA has ruled out any chance that an asteroid called 2024 YR4 will hit the moon in 2032.
