NASA says that a large asteroid, who has the chance to hit the Earth, is a little higher than he thought about the possibility of hitting the moon.
When it was first discovered, the asteroid 2024 YR4 had little chance of influencing the Earth in 2032, but the US space agency reduced this chance to 0.004%.
However, on December 22, 2032, the possibility of a month’s effect has doubled from 1.7% to 3.8%. James Webb was based on recalculation on information from telescopes, including space telescope.
“The chance of missing asteroids is still a chance to miss 96.2%,” NASA said in a statement, even if the effect has an effect, the moon will not change the orbit, he said.
The infrared observations of WeBB helped to narrow the asteroid size of the size of the asteroid size between 53-67 meters.
Since 2024, the YR4 was first detected in December with a telescope in the desert in Chile, dozens of other objects were closer to the world than the moon.
Probably, it is likely that others have hit us or burned us in the atmosphere, albeit much smaller, but it is likely to go unnoticed.
The surface of the moon is full of craters, in which asteroids and comet stars have been affected in the past.
Although a new Moon effect is not extremely likely, it can offer a rare chance to observe a real collision and examine how the moon reacts.
Kent University Professor of Space Science Professor Mark Burchell said that the new scientist’s magazine would be a “great experiment and an excellent opportunity”.
“Telescopes would definitely see, and there may be binoculars.”
WebB will observe the asteroid next month for more analysis.
