天文学家估计,直径约60米的小行星2024YR4,在2032年12月22日撞击月球的概率约为4% 。释放的能量相当于一次中等规模的核爆,很可能是近五千年来最大的月球撞击事件。 好处是可以利用月震信号逐层绘制月球内部结构图,或许还有精彩的流星雨。 坏处是,一些近地轨道卫星将遭到损坏,它们的碎片再与其他航天器相撞,产生更多的碎片,即所谓的凯斯勒综合症。

A new observation from @NASAWebb of asteroid 2024 YR4 has improved our knowledge of where the asteroid will be on Dec. 22, 2032 by nearly 20%, thus raising the chance of a lunar impact to 4.3%. 2024 YR4 is now too far to observe until 2028. https://t.co/iVzKgB0gfc https://t.co/n9I13tdG2P
