An extraordinary celestial event could unfold in the night sky in less than a decade if an asteroid passing Earth collides with the Moon. The impact of asteroid 2024 YR4 into the lunar surface would likely send debris flying out towards us, resulting in a unique meteor shower composed entirely of moon dust.

An asteroid having the size of a 15-story building might slam into the Moon in 2032. If it does, Earth could see a meteor shower.
