An asteroid could hit Earth, but scientists are continuing to gather data to understand its trajectory and potential impact to Earth.

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 have significantly increased the odds of a giant asteroid hitting the earth by 2032. The giant asteroid, measuring up to 300ft (90 metres), is said to be currently hurtling towards Earth.
