There is an asteroid called an apollo asteroid on a collision course with earth. Basically there are different areas in our solar system where asteroids exist and these are sort of near to the earth type asteroids and as the name suggests it was only discovered in 2018 and it is predicted that this year, this November it will get close to us, but unfortunately, we don’t know a whole lot about it, as it’s only been observed once and this was when it was first discovered back in 2018.
it was only observed for about 13 days so during that small window of time we tried to gather asmuch information about its orbit as we could get and you sort of extrapolating that informationoutwards and it gives you a range of possibilities and one of those possibilities is there’s about a one in 250 chance that it’ll strike the earth and there are some videos online that have pointed out that this could be something to worry about.
