Asteroid 2024 YR4 passes close to the Moon

On 22 December 2032, asteroid 2024 YR4, about 60 m wide, will pass about 21,000 km from the Moon's surface. Soon after its discovery, it briefly had a small chance of hitting Earth, which was ruled out in 2025. In March 2026, James Webb Space Telescope observations also ruled out a Moon impact. It poses no danger.
