Shock discovery: Scientists warn that city-destroying asteroid nearing Earth in 2032 is more massive than first estimated

A massive asteroid, 2024 YR4, initially estimated at 40 meters in diameter, is actually 60 meters wide, posing a more significant threat. While NASA confirms it won't hit Earth, there's a 2% chance it could impact the Moon in 2032. The James Webb Space Telescope's accurate measurements are crucial for understanding potential hazards.
