An animated image shows how NASA has refined the probability of a 2032 lunar impact by asteroid 2024 YR4. The first image shows the range of the asteroid's potential locations based on observations made in the spring of 2025 (4.3% impact probability), and the second image shows the potential locations based on observations made in February 2026 (zero percent impact probability).
