Global Space Agencies Unite to Tackle Asteroid Threat

• Space stations worldwide are collaborating to address the potential impact of asteroid 2024 YR4, which has a 1-in-43 chance of hitting Earth in 2032.
• The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is being used to measure the asteroid's size and trajectory, with estimates suggesting it could cause an explosion 100 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.
• Scientists are working to refine the asteroid's orbit and size estimates, with ongoing observations expected to reduce the collision probability.
