A recently released animation shows a new look at a large asteroid that has a small, but significant, chance of impacting planet Earth in seven years.

Astronomers will have more information later this spring about the asteroid's path and its likelihood of hitting Earth. The post Here’s what an MIT scientist says about the asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032 appeared first on Boston.

Astronomers will use the Webb telescope to closely monitor the size and trajectory of an asteroid that has a slim chance of striking Earth in 2032.

Scientists say they expect the asteroid's future trajectory and impact probability to change as astronomers collect and analyze more data.
