Insect inspired tech to protect Earth from asteroids
The European Space Agency has begun operating a new telescope that will help scan the skies for asteroids and comets that could threaten earth.Insects have compound eyes which give them a very wide angle of viewA telescope inspired by the compound eyes of insects will serve as an early-warning system for incoming asteroid risks.The Flyeye telescope can capture a region of the sky more than 200 times as large as the full moon in a single exposure…
One of the most raging news in the fanatical community of space was the probability of impact of an asteroid on Earth. The meteorite 2024 YR4 represented a real risk to humans for some time; however, after various research, it was estimated that it would eventually have no contact with our planet. However, it is now possible that it will crash on the Moon, and the chances of this happening increased. This was what astronomers said after a study.
A new analysis by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has revealed a slight increase in the probability of asteroid 2024 YR4 impacting the Moon. According to data from the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) of the Chorro Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the risk rose from 3.8% to 4.3%, following the new series of observations captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.

NASA, together with the European Space Agency (ESA), has been monitoring this celestial body to determine its risk of impact. Below, we break down the most relevant details about this asteroid, its poss…
