It's March 5th, here's your Durham news in two minutes. NASA has given the all-clear on a potential space rock thread. The asteroid known as 2024-YR now has zero chance of slamming into the moon in 2032. This is great news for Skywatchers and scientists alike. Earlier this year, experts pegged the odds at 4.3% for a direct hit. That worry came from initial tracking data on the asteroid's path. The fresh observations from the web space telescope back in February sharpened the picture. They nailed down the orbit with pinpoint accuracy. Now the rock will zip past the moon by 13,200 miles on December 22nd, 2032. No impact, just a safe flyby. This update shows how powerful new telescopes are at easing cosmic concerns. NASA keeps monitoring these near-miss visitors to stay ahead of any real risks. The daily news now is made possible with support from our sponsor. Press play. Put your head down.
