"Phew! NASA Rules Out Asteroid Smashup on the Moon in 2032" by @universetoday / @alanboyle - Astronomical observations of #asteroid #2024YR4, including from #NASA #WebbSpaceTelescopeπ #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

Did you know that NNSA, the agency DOGE randomly fired people from without knowing the agency secures our nuclear weapons, also helps prevent asteroids from killing us all?
Well, they do, and now you know.
"NNSA works with partners to detect and mitigate impact threats from potentially hazardous near-Earth objects."
This is just the declassified stuff they do to keep us all from dying.
