Here are possible orbits of YR4 as they approach Earth on Dec 22, 2032. You can see that the big clump of orbits miss Earth, but some do hit Earth. Latest impact probability holding steady at about 2%.

One day, there might be some eclipse chasers on the moon looking for the best views of Earth in shadow. Until then, we'll just have to imagine the sight. Here's one from Moretus Crater near the south pole of the moon. Simulated with @OpenSpaceProj .
