[smudge the viking]

Hi, I am a new to forums & dont know much about astronomy but am very interested in learning. Can anybody tell me that when Asteroid 1999 AN10 passes by in 2027 would it effect or be a danger to our moon?

No-one seems much worried ... it appears that the chance of an impact is very small indeed. If it did hit, it would make a new crater big enough to see with amateur scopes, but quite modest by lunar standards.
