  • China is assembling a 'planetary defence' team to monitor asteroids as fears grow over the 2024 YR4 asteroid, which is estimated to be 40 to 90 metres wide, impacting with Earth

The article discusses the increasing risk of a city-killing meteor impact on Earth, highlighting the formation of a new planetary defense team aimed at mitigating such threats. It mentions that while the chances of a catastrophic asteroid strike are still relatively low, the potential for damage is significant enough to warrant proactive measures. The team, composed of international experts, will focus on tracking near-Earth objects (NEOs), developing technologies for asteroid deflection, and enhancing global response strategies. The article also touches on recent close calls with asteroids, underscoring the urgency of these efforts. Additionally, it notes the advancements in detection technology and the ongoing need for international cooperation to ensure planetary safety.
