City-Killer Asteroid Could Hit Earth in 2032—Are We Ready?

Scientists warn that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.3% chance of striking Earth in 2032—a small but serious risk. Nicknamed a "city killer," this space rock could cause massive destruction if it hits. NASA is using the James Webb Telescope to refine its trajectory, but with only eight years to prepare, experts debate whether a spacecraft deflection or a nuclear blast could prevent disaster.

Could this be another DART mission, or will it require a more drastic approach? While there’s a 97.7% chance of a miss, scientists are taking no chances. Stay updated on NASA’s efforts to protect Earth from asteroid threats—because sometimes, science really does save the world!
