As 2024 YR4 Earth impact chances for 2032 plumet, the Lunar possibility is still very much on the table. Current Sentry chances for Earth are 0.28%. Per JPL, the Lunar impact has increased to 1%. While still a very unlikely scenario, it's interesting to consider. JPL blog link in comments. 🔭🧪

Not going to lie. This is always my favorite day of the week. New episodes of Nature, NOVA, and Secrets of the Dead just dropped. #PBS #NOVA #Nature #Science

Please reach out directly to NASA or the UofA media relations office for any further stories about 2024 YR4. My job is very specific to the work I do for the survey, they will do good with getting you in touch with experts that cover a wide range of planetary defense topics. Cheers!
