Fake title. From the article:

> On Feb. 24, NASA announced an official "all clear" on social media, reporting the impact probability had dropped to just 0.004% and that the asteroid is "expected to safely pass by Earth in 2032."

The title says it might hit the moon, not earth.

Thank you for correcting my mistake. I went through the article multiple times and never noticed that part. Apologies.

Dangit, NASA. Your job is to protect the Earth and her Moon, not to make it more attractive to astero....

Oh, nevermind. I misunderstood the title.
