I am hoping your thirst for #2024YR4 is not yet slaked! Here’s the #JWST blog’s take on things, plus we look forward to a more technical note coming our next week!

So there is an upcoming novel about #asteroid #2024YR4 which has just sold its movie rights: https://gizmodo.com/the-author-behind-the-social-network-has-an-asteroid-movie-coming-out-2000730674 - wonder what will happen when the producers of #TheLastOrbit eventually figure out that it's not only no risk for Earth anymore (as has been known for a year now, of course) but also not for the Moon. Talk about bad timing ... ;-)

"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

Erst jetzt gefundene alte Bilder und ganz neue Aufnahmen von Webb haben unabhängig voneinander die Bahn des Asteroiden #2024YR4 erheblich genauer gemacht - und ein Impakt auf dem Mond im Jahr 2032, der zuvor noch eine Wahrscheinlichkeit von 4% hatte, ist nun definitiv ausgeschlossen: https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.00449 bzw. https://science.nasa.gov/blogs/planetary-defense/2026/03/05/new-nasa-asteroid-observations-eliminate-chance-of-2032-lunar-impact/ und https://www.esa.int/Space_Safety/Planetary_Defence/Asteroid_2024_YR4_will_not_impact_the_Moon

But one day ... ;-)

JWST confirms that #2024YR4 will miss the Moon in 2032.
And apparently also confirming that the potential precovery observation was indeed in the right spot.
2024 YR4 will not come so close to Earth and Moon again until at least the mid-2050s.
But its orbit will still have a very low minimum distance from Earth's.
For a longer-term trajectory prediction; wait until after the 2032 flyby.

Today on the #arXiv :
Deen & Lam 2026, "2024 YR4: Identification of Possible Precoveries in 2016 IPTF Data" - https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.00449
This paper presents an archival search of old telescope images of #2024YR4 . It just happened to fall in gaps of several surveys.
But Deen & Lam identify one marginal potential detection from Palomar in 2016. If real, it would exclude the potential lunar impact in 2032.
I await the results of the latest JWST observations, which should be far clearer.
