The article discusses the asteroid 2024 MK, previously referred to as 2024 YR4, which was initially flagged for its potential to impact Earth. However, scientists have since determined that this "city-killer" asteroid, with a size of about 150 meters, is more likely to pass by Earth at a safe distance of 297,000 kilometers on June 29, 2024. Instead of posing a threat to Earth, there's a possibility it could collide with the Moon. This event has sparked interest among astronomers and space enthusiasts, as it provides a unique opportunity to study the effects of an asteroid impact on the lunar surface. The article also touches on the broader implications of asteroid monitoring, emphasizing the importance of tracking such celestial bodies to understand and mitigate potential future threats.
