Good visualization from @esa.int of the shrinking uncertainties in the impact probability of asteroid 2024 YR4, as more observations of the orbit continue.

YR4: the asteroid with a tiny chance of hitting Earth
The asteroid named YR4 has a 1% chance of hitting Earth in 2032
There, there. Don't you fret. Just seven more years and it'll all be over.

This latest image of Jupiter, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 25 August 2020, was captured when the planet was 653 million kilometres from Earth. Hubble’s sharp view is giving researchers an updated weather report on the monster planet’s turbulent atmosphere, including a remarkable new storm brewing, and a cousin of the Great Red Spot changing colour — again. The new image also features Jupiter’s icy moon Europa.

🔭 We're closely monitoring the recently discovered asteroid #2024YR4. The #asteroid has an almost 99% chance of safely passing Earth in 2032, but a possible impact cannot yet be entirely ruled out. 2024 YR4 is estimated to be between 40 m and 100 m wide.

A solar eclipse. Large red prominences are along the edge.
A solar eclipse. The diamond ring effect is visible, with the bright "diamond" is at the 10 o'clock position. There are some red prominences at the 9 and 12 o'clock positions.

Given that my golden retriever managed to take my right shoulder out of action for several months, the main camera/telescope rig didn't really make it out very often.
Here are some images I managed to capture in 2024 anyway.
