Part 6/7:
A notable complication is the current inability to precisely monitor 2024 YR4 due to the sun’s interference. Astronomers anticipate that the asteroid will become observable again by 2028, at which point they can determine more definitively whether it poses a threat to the moon or possibly re-evaluate its trajectory concerning Earth.
This situation underscores the importance of continuous sky surveillance and the need for advanced observational technology to track Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). As space agencies and astronomers monitor these celestial bodies, the primary focus remains on planetary defense, while also considering the implications for lunar exploration and satellite safety.
