There’s a big space rock called an asteroid named 2024 YR4. Some scientists are a bit worried because there’s a small chance, just 1.8%, that it might hit Earth in December 2032. That’s not very likely, but they still want to know more about it! To learn more, they are using a super smart telescope called the James Webb Space Telescope. This telescope is special because it can see really far away, over a million miles from Earth! It can also see different kinds of light that regular telescopes can’t. Right now, scientists think 2024 YR4 is pretty big. It might be as wide as a big school bus! If it were to crash into Earth, it could cause a lot of damage in that area. So, scientists really want to figure out exactly how big it is and where it will be in space. The asteroid follows a path around the sun and comes close to Earth sometimes. Astronomers can track it, but as it moves away, it gets harder to see. The Webb telescope will help scientists keep an eye on it and learn more about where it will go. They’re hoping to get more information soon to keep everyone safe. The James Webb Space Telescope, launched in 2021, has very smart tools to help it see asteroids like 2024 YR4. Two of those tools will be used to learn about the asteroid's size and how it moves through space. Even though the chance of the asteroid hitting Earth is very low, scientists take it seriously. They want to make sure everyone is safe by knowing as much as they can. This is why they work hard to study space rocks like 2024 YR4. Scientists are very curious and want to learn all they can!
