Asteroid 2024 YR4 Risk Significantly Reduced, but Lunar Impact Remains Possible
NASA recently downgraded the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4, initially labeled a "city killer," impacting Earth from 3% to 0.004%, although a 1.7% chance of a lunar impact remains, highlighting the ongoing need for advanced asteroid detection and deflection strategies.

Mass Extinctions: A Gradual Process, Not a Single Event
A recent study challenges the notion that mass extinctions are instantaneous events, arguing that the dinosaur-killing event spanned millions of years; this raises concerns that a sixth mass extinction might be gradually unfolding due to a combination of smaller-scale catastrophes.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact Probability Revised Downward
Asteroid 2024 YR4, initially posing a 3.1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032, now has a 0.28% chance of impact, with a 1% chance of hitting the Moon instead; this highlights the constant, largely unnoticed influx of space debris near Earth, some of which holds significant scientific value.

Germany's Largest Meteorite: Issigau on Display in Munich
The 136.4 kg Issigau meteorite, the largest ever found in Germany, is on loan to Munich's Deutsches Museum until June 30th; discovered five years ago, its 4.6 billion-year age and iron-nickel composition make it a significant scientific and potentially economic resource.
