Asteroid that passes nearby could hit Earth in the future, NASA says

[mag123]

An asteroid NASA's been tracking for nearly 25 years could impact Earth in the future, a new report reveals.

First discovered in 1999, Bennu, the near-Earth asteroid, could possibly drift into the planet's orbit and could hit the planet by September 2182, according to the OSIRIS-REx science team

hit the planet by September 2182,

හම්මෝ මං නං බේරුණා. ඒ කාලෙ මම නැහැනෙ.

හැබැයි රනිල් සර්ට වැදුණොත් එස්සත් ජාතික one man පස්සෙ නායකත්වෙට කෙනෙක් නැතිවෙන එකයි අනිත් අතට 2248 රට දියුණු කරන්න කෙනෙක් නැතිවෙන එකයි තමයි දුක.

But the chances are like hitting the Bull's eye with a blindfold.

Russian asteroid strike In 2013 February.​

A space rock a few metres across exploded in Earth’s atmosphere above the city of Chelyabinsk, Russia today at about 03:15 GMT. The numerous injuries and significant damage remind us that what happens in space can affect us all.
While precise information on the size, mass and composition of the object are yet to be confirmed, videos show a fireball and explosion consistent with an asteroid up to a few metres in size exploding in the atmosphere, possibly several to ten kilometres above the surface.
In this type of event, if the explosion altitude is less than 10 km or so, the resulting shockwave can cause damage on the ground, such as shattering windows. Debris from the object may be found later.
