Earth in clear from Asteroid 2024 YR4 strike in 2032

Asteroid 2024 YR4 may be a dud, but we will soon find many more threats
In reality, even as the near-Earth asteroid 2024 YR4 was moving away, ground-based telescopes were able to gather enough observations to get a better handle on its orbit. So we can safely take a deep breath and return to the more pressing existential problems posed by threats on this planet, rather than off-world.
