An asteroid roughly the size of an Olympic swimming pool has a small chance of colliding with Earth in 2046.
However, the asteroid’s exact shape is unknown, and with the possible impact date being so far away, it’s likely that better calculations of its orbit could see it passing closely to Earth instead of impacting it. Still, it’s good to know that astronomers are watching these things, especially withcapable of colliding with Earth and destroying civilization lurking out there.
The possibility of its orbiting being better calculated is very high. During the first few weeks after scientists discover a new object, calculations and observations are run to help narrow down information about the object. In this case, scientists are working to determine how big the asteroid is, whether its orbit will cause it to collide with Earth, or if it will pass safely past us.It can often take several weeks to collect the full sweep of data.
