An asteroid known as 2024 YR4 won't be crashing into Earth, but the James Webb Space Telescope went to get a look at it anyway. Here's what it found.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning new images of an asteroid that was once ranked as the biggest threat to Earth. Earlier this year, the asteroid 2024 YR4 shot to the top of the planetary defense watchlist after it was predicted to have a 3 percent chance of hitting Earth in 2032.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently turned its watchful eye toward asteroid 2024 YR4, which we now know poses no significant threat to Earth in 2032 and beyond.
