Ukrainian astronomers freshly reported that a huge asteroid that is Earth size, could hit our planet in 18 years from now, on August 26, 2032. The asteroid is heard to be traveling with a destructive power  of 50 times greater the biggest nuclear bomb ever detonated.

We can ignore this news as in past many astronomers have reported that Earth will collide with asteroids and lead to a destruction. But nothing really happened. However, Ukrainian astronomers reports got strength as five other astronomy groups in Italy, the UK, Spain and Russia’s Siberian republic of Buryatia have confirmed this news too. This collision might result in 2,500 tons of TNT.

If this doesn't happen, another set of astronomers have reported that much heavier asteroid is on the way to hit the Earth and this might happen in the year 2880 on March 16. Year 2880 sounds too far and by then we don't know whether life will exist on Earth considering the availability of natural resources.

This asteroid is called 1950 DA but has chances of one in 4000 of smashing the Earth. Scientists could diver the asteroids path by various methods which can change its reflectivity and allow sunlight to do the work of pushing the asteroid.

Currently NASA is tracking 1,400 hazardous asteroid which can possibly hit the Earth and can have major impact on life.
