The Vredefort Dome is the oldest known and largest confirmed meteorite impact structure on Earth. Formed around two billion years ago, it marks the site where a massive asteroid struck the planet, releasing energy far beyond any nuclear weapon ever created. The impact reshaped Earth’s crust, melted rock layers, and permanently altered the geology of southern Africa. Today, the Vredefort Dome stands as the earliest physical evidence of large-scale planetary destruction in Earth’s history—and a re

Asteroid 2024 YR4: What’s Really Happening? 🚀 👉Asteroid 2024 YR4 is a ~60-meter near-Earth space rock discovered in late 2024 that briefly raised impact concerns. Continued tracking with telescopes and NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope refined its orbit and showed it no longer poses a threat to Earth in 2032. However, updated calculations now give it a small ~4% chance of hitting the Moon on December 22, 2032, meaning there’s about a 96% chance it won’t. Scientists are studying ways to deflect
