Asteroid 2024 YR4, which once appeared to be on a collision course with Earth, may hit the moon, which could create some problems for our planet.

An extraordinary celestial event could unfold in the night sky in less than a decade if an asteroid passing Earth collides with the Moon. The impact of asteroid 2024 YR4 into the lunar surface would likely send debris flying out towards us, resulting in a unique meteor shower composed entirely of moon dust.

The latest data on asteroid 2024 YR4 has scientists confident that Earth is no longer in the bullseye. However the enormous space rock could hit the moon in late 2032 and that could have some implications for our planet.
