An asteroid that, until a few months ago, was believed to be a threat to Earth is increasingly looking like it could crash into the Moon in 2032.

An asteroid that set off a global effort to determine if it would impact Earth in 2032 is no longer a threat to our planet, however, chances of a hit to the Moon are increasing.

Asteroids’ orbits around the sun may put them in collision paths with inner planets. We may have had a near-miss, but asteroids can pass by the Earth undetected.
