NASA is monitoring an asteroid that could hit Earth on Valentine’s Day 2046. It has a 1 in 625 chance of hitting Earth. They say there’s no cause for alarm since they just discovered it, and risks have not been fully assessed.
I doubt many of us will be around to witness what happens. Hopefully they will nudge it on its way if it gets too close

A long time yet but the world can change a lot in that time
