Webb snaps photographs of Asteroid 2024 YR4
Wednesday, 02 April 2025 13:30
Image:
This image shows Webb’s recent observation of the asteroid 2024 YR4 using both its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). Data from NIRCam shows reflected light, while the MIRI observations show thermal light.
On 8 March 2025, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope turned its watchful eye toward asteroid 2024 YR4, which we now know poses no significant threat to Earth in 2032 and beyond.
This is the smallest object targeted by Webb to date, and one of the smallest objects to have its size directly measured.
Observations were taken to study the thermal properties of 2024 YR4,

An international team of scientists has unraveled the story behind the April 2019 fall of rare meteorites near Aguas Zarcas in northern Costa Rica, highlighting that these so-called "mudball" meteorites can be much more robust than previously assumed.
"27 kilos of rocks were recovered, making this the largest fall of its kind since similar meteorites fell near Murchison in Australia in 196
