Asteroid 2024 YR4 is on the radar, and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is set to take a closer look. By focusing on this asteroid, scientists aim to clarify the odds of it colliding with Earth in the near future. Understanding the difference between a potential impact at 40 metres versus 90 metres could be crucial. This research could help us better prepare for any possible threats from space.
