"Experts at NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies at the agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have updated 2024 YR4’s chance of impacting the Moon on December 22, 2032 from 1.7 as of late February to 3.8 percent," the agency said this week.

An asteroid known as 2024 YR4 won't be crashing into Earth, but the James Webb Space Telescope went to get a look at it anyway. Here's what it found.

Astronomers have gotten a glimpse of the "city-killer" asteroid before it disappears until 2028, according to NASA.

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first look at the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 before a perilous close approach in 2032. The telescope confirmed Earth is safe, but there is a 3.8% chance that our moon may be in trouble.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning new images of an asteroid that was once ranked as the biggest threat to Earth. Earlier this year, the asteroid 2024 YR4 shot to the top of the planetary defense watchlist after it was predicted to have a 3 percent chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

NASA's Webb telescope has captured pictures of the asteroid that caused a stir earlier this year when it topped Earth's hit list.

YR4, it appeared, was heading for Earth but more data recorded by the Webb Space Telescope has offered new information about the rocky body in the inner Solar System
