On March 13-14, 2025, parts of the Western Hemisphere can witness a stunning blood moon. This lunar eclipse paints the Moon a reddish hue due to Earth's atmosphere filtering sunlight.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 poses a 1.2% risk of an Earth collision in December 2032. Despite its low probability, its potential impact could mimic the destructive 1908 Tunguska event. International organizations like NASA and ESA are closely monitoring its path, with key observations planned from 2025 onwards. South America, sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia lie in the potential risk corridor.
