一颗小行星在2032年撞击月球的概率为4% 促使美国航天局研究偏转选项 An asteroid has a 4% chance of hitting the moon in 2032, prompting NASA to study deflection options.

据美国航天局称,一个名为YR4的小行星在2032年撞击月球的概率为4%,这促使对核爆炸或动能撞击等偏转策略进行评估。 An asteroid named YR4 has a 4% chance of hitting the moon in 2032, according to NASA, prompting evaluation of deflection strategies like nuclear explosions or kinetic impact. 虽然认为不太可能发生地球撞击,但科学家们正在研究早期干预,以防止月球碰撞,月球碰撞可能影响卫星和国际空间站。 While a Earth impact is considered unlikely, scientists are studying early intervention to prevent the lunar collision, which could affect satellites and the International Space Station. 预计2月份将恢复使用詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜进行的观测可能有助于改进预测。 Observations using the James Webb Space Telescope, expected to resume in February, may help refine predictions. 这一情况突出表明,在DART飞行任务成功的基础上,正在作出行星防御努力。 The situation highlights ongoing planetary defense efforts, building on the success of the DART mission.
