James Webb Clears Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact Threat

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has successfully observed asteroid 2024 YR4, determining that it will not collide with Earth or the Moon in December 2032. Initial estimates had indicated an impact probability of up to 3.1% with Earth and 4.3% with the Moon. Using infrared instruments, the telescope collected crucial data on the asteroid's trajectory, clearing previous uncertainties regarding potential impacts.
