We hear about asteroids all the time in news. Most of them too far away with very little chance of smacking into earth. But astronomers fear at least 4 of them are near earth asteroids that may be in collision course with our planet. In fact one of them called FT3 is estimated to pass by our planet on October 3, 2019 in just a few weeks from now. The risk of collision is estimated low unless it deviates from its course.

NASA is working on various strategies to prevent near earth asteroids hitting our planet. Such strategies include destroying the asteroid in the space with nuclear weapons.
