💨 Abstract

A potentially hazardous asteroid, 2024 YR4, has a small chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032. However, scientists estimate a 0.3% chance that it will hit the Moon instead, which would save Earth from the impact. If the Moon is struck, it would likely create a crater, but the debris would either stay on the Moon or drift into space, posing minimal threat to Earth.
