The asteroid, big enough to wipe out an entire city, now has a higher chance of smashing into our home planet in 2032, according to NASA.

    Yeah, but it comes close enough in 2028 to get a good fix on its trajectory and to launch a mission to it.

      I see what you’re saying now, sorry. Yeah as it passes by we should be able to say with certainty when it actually will hit whether that is 2032 or 2432
