The latest analysis from the European Space Agency (ESA) Planetary Defence Office has reduced the probability that asteroid 2024 YR4 might impact Earth in 2032 to 0.001%.

        Joke aside, that’s not possible. This asteroid is way too small to make a meaningful change in the moons orbit

      Whoa, imagine seeing the moon glow again from all the melted rock.

      … I mean for the first time ever, since I am human & partake in such regular human activities as not existing when the moon formed.
