This Huge Asteroid Won't Destroy Earth - It’s Headed for the Moon
A giant asteroid, roughly the size of a football field, was spotted hurtling through space — and for a moment, it looked like it could hit Earth. Astronomers scrambled to analyze its path, and the good news? Earth is safe. But the Moon… might not be so lucky. This video unpacks everything we know about asteroid 2024 YR4, its unpredictable future, and why scientists are keeping a very close eye on it. If you're into space drama, science updates, or cosmic near-misses, this one's for you.Credit:
