> What if asteroid 2024 YR4 actually hit the Moon? The Moon phase at impact will be 70% illuminated, waning gibbous on December 22nd, 2032 around 15:20 Universal Time (UT), the approximate time that 2024 YR4 will be in the vicinity of the Moon. Viewing would favor the Pacific Ocean region… though it's uncertain at this point just what area of the Moon the asteroid would strike, if it hits the Moon at all. Certainly, the near nighttime side would be favorable for observation. The asteroid will be approaching the Earth from the direction of Sagittarius (the same constellation the Sun crosses in late December).
