Will the asteroid 2024 YR4 crash into Earth in 2032? Maybe, but probably not. Today’s Monthly Roundup looks at three studies that advance our understanding of asteroid redirection — just in case. https://aasnova.org/2025/02/14/monthly-roundup-preparing-for-a-potential-impact/ 🔭🧪

I vote capture mission. Earth orbit insertion or lunar impact.
Just out of curiosity how large of an asteroid is the theoretical limit for a capture maneuver?
..are there asteroids more solid than others? and if it struck earth, would the outcome be worse?
