Asteroid Looms Over Us: A Cosmic Wake-Up Call!

Neil deGrasse Tyson, renowned astrophysicist, raises alarms as Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a 2.3% chance of Earth impact by 2032, focusing anxieties globally. This mansion-sized space rock could deliver devastation akin to 500 Hiroshima bombs, targeting areas from South America to India. Amidst funding freezes in scientific research, like NSF’s dire cuts, safeguarding efforts hang by a thread. While @neiltyson suggests prudent science investments, there's still a high probability - 97.7% - it'll safely bypass us. Yet, preparation remains crucial!
