beskrivelse:

This is a sequence of observations of the Near Earth Asteroid 2024 YR4 carried out with ESO’s Very Large Telescope in January 2025, shortly after it was discovered in December 2024. The images have been aligned so that the asteroid remains fixed at the centre of the frame, while the stars appear to move in the background. Follow-up observations such as this one have found that, as of 29 January 2025, it has an almost 99% chance of safely passing Earth on 22 Dec 2032, but a possible impact cannot yet be entirely ruled out.
