flag A 60-meter asteroid, 2024 YR4, has a 4% chance of hitting the Moon in December 2032, potentially ejecting massive debris into Earth orbit and increasing micrometeoroid risks significantly. flag While Earth impact is no longer expected, NASA and researchers are evaluating nuclear disruption or deflection missions, with launch windows from 2029 to 2032. flag Options include repurposing existing spacecraft or deploying nuclear devices, though no plans are confirmed. flag Further tracking by 2028 will determine the threat level, and the effort could advance planetary defense strategies.
