NASA's asteroid deflection test for planetary defence even more successful than we thought
The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission not only altered an asteroid’s orbit but, for the first time, a new study shows we also successfully changed the asteroids' path around the sun.

La mission DART a vraiment bousculé l’espace : l’astéroïde percuté par la NASA a carrément changé d’orbite autour du Soleil.

"Phew! NASA Rules Out Asteroid Smashup on the Moon in 2032" by @universetoday / @alanboyle - Astronomical observations of #asteroid #2024YR4, including from #NASA #WebbSpaceTelescope🔭 #JWST, refined its orbit estimate to rule out impact with the #Moon on its Dec 22, 2032 flyby. Possibility of Earth impact on that pass was already ruled out in April 2025. The 60m diameter rock would be a serious threat. https://www.universetoday.com/articles/phew-nasa-rules-out-asteroid-smashup-on-the-moon-in-2032 #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space

"Asteroid 2024 YR4's collision with the moon could create a flash visible from Earth, study finds" by @LiveScience - #Asteroid #2024YR4 was briefly subject of concern until Earth impact was ruled out. It's still being studied for potential impact with the #Moon on Dec 22, 2032. New paper estimates impact areas, all on the side facing Earth. A tiny fraction might be in darkness, visible without optics. https://www.livescience.com/space/asteroids/asteroid-2024-yr4s-collision-with-the-moon-could-create-a-flash-visible-from-earth-study-finds #astronomy #PlanetaryDefense #PlanetaryDefence #LowFlyingRocks #space

HAPPENING: Scientists Track Asteroid 2024 YR4 and a Moon Rare High-Energy Impact Scenario

A celestial game of billiards is unfolding in our backyard. Global observatories are locked onto Asteroid 2024 YR4, calculating a rare high-energy impact scenario involving the Moon.
