The space rock is heading in our direction at some 18,700 miles per hour, according to the space agency's data.

An asteroid that measures up to 300 feet across could smack into Earth in 2032, and while NASA says the chances of a collision are “extremely low,” the probability has been increasing since the space rock was discovered weeks ago.

Measuring approximately 40 to 100 metres wide, people have been nicknaming the asteroid ‘the city destroyer’ as it has the capability of making quite the impact on Earth. And with that, a NASA engineer has shared the countries that might be hit by the chunk of rock if it comes crashing down from space in seven years.
