An asteroid first spotted in December has a 1.2% chance of hitting Earth in 2032. Scientists are tracking the space rock to learn more about its size and trajectory.

Astronomers are on high alert once again, as yet another recently discovered asteroid has been estimated by experts to make a direct impact on Earth by the year 2032.
