Finding smaller asteroids is essential for understanding how our solar system formed and for planetary defense, explained Artem Burdanov and Julien de Wit in our latest #SETILive #podcast with host Franck Marchis. Listen to the full episode: https://www.seti.org/seti-live
#ICYMI: On this week's #SETILive, Franck chatted with scientists Artem Y. Burdanov and Julien de Wit from MIT about how they used #JWST to find 138 small asteroids, improving our #planetarydefense capabilities. Watch the full interview: https://youtube.com/live/Igqlj7rsxqw

An impact of #asteroid #2024YR4 on the #Moon could be visible from Earth, if it impacts the side that faces us. Additional hazards not mentioned in articles I've seen so far would affect planning for #NASA #Artemis landing missions and Lunar Gateway space station (not yet launched). Some ejecta/debris from the impact would leave the Moon's weak gravity and could threaten Earth or our satellites weeks or months after impact. #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space
"Asteroid will miss Earth β but may set off lunar light show" by @cosmiclog / @alanboyle - #Asteroid #2024YR4 orbit is understood well enough now that it will not impact Earth in 2032. But it's still close. A lunar impact remains possible, currently at 3.8% probability. The article paints a picture of just a light show visible from Earth. But there are more potential hazards. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/04/07/asteroid-will-miss-earth-but-may-set-off-lunar-light-show/ #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space

"James Webb telescope takes emergency look at 'city-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 ahead of close encounter in 2032" by @LiveScience - #NASA #JWST observations confirm #asteroid #2024YR4 will not impact Earth on the Dec 22, 2032 fly-by. An impact on the #Moonπ is still not ruled out. Another JWST observation is scheduled for May before the rock disappears into the dark outer solar system for several years. https://www.livescience.com/space/asteroids/james-webb-telescope-takes-emergency-look-at-city-killer-asteroid-2024-yr4-ahead-of-close-encounter-in-2032 #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space
"A Near-Miss with a City-Killer Asteroid Highlights Gaps in Earthβs Defenses" by @SciAm - Increasing capabilities to search for the next wayward #asteroid will mean recurring news like #2024YR4 where a threat is evaluated for potential collision course with Earth. At some point, we will find one headed here. Planning and test exercises try to become prepared for what to do when we know one is coming. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-planetary-defenders-planned-to-stop-that-city-killer-asteroid/ #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space

Planetary defense may get a boost from Jared Isaacman
https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/planetary-defense-may-get-a-boost-from-jared-isaacman/
NASA's been tracking 2024 YR4 since December, triggering protocols to inform US government agencies under the Planetary Defense Strategy, updated as recently as 2023.
Are we ready for this challenge? #SpaceSafety #PlanetaryDefense
As a quick note, the asteroid risk we mentioned last week has risen to over 3%.
