NASA has confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR will not hit the moon in 2032, ending earlier concerns of a possible collision.

Observations by the Webb Space Telescope in February allowed scientists to refine its orbit, showing it will pass safely 13,200 miles (21,200 kilometers) from the moon on Dec. 22, 2032.

The asteroid, roughly 200 feet (60 meters) wide, was discovered in late 2024 and initially appeared to pose a threat.

Earth was never at risk, with no collisions expected for at least the next century, ABC News has reported.

The new data provides full reassurance for both lunar safety and long-term monitoring of 2024 YR.
