NASA spots asteroid that could hit Earth in 157 years
A space rock with some history could be on a collision course with Earth, though, to be fair, it's pretty unlikely. Bennu has a 1:2,700 chance of hitting us in 2182.
NASA spotted a big asteroid that may hit Earth — what you should know
It's actually good news that NASA spotted a sizable asteroid with a (small) chance of hitting Earth in 2032. It means our asteroid-sleuthing telescopes are working.

There's a 1.9% chance a big asteroid could hit Earth in 2032. Scientists say don't worry about it
Look at it this way — there's almost a 99 per cent chance an asteroid up to the size of a football field won't hit the Earth in eight years. Still, there's up to a two per cent chance it will, according to NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).
This asteroid may hit Earth in 2032. Don't panic—scientists have a plan.
