Asteroid Could Hit the Moon: What Happens Next?

There's a chance a sizable asteroid could strike the moon in 2032, potentially causing a significant impact event.

This collision could eject lunar debris towards Earth, creating a dazzling meteor shower but also threatening satellites.

Scientists are using advanced telescopes to track the asteroid, calculating the probability of an impact and its effects.

Although a direct Earth impact is unlikely, the potential damage to satellites and the resulting meteor shower are noteworthy.
