Well, not exactly. NASA recently reported that an asteroid will come to a spitting distance from Earth, but on the basis of new information, it might come even more than that.
Earlier this year, NASA researchers have spotted an asteroid that is roughly the size of a large yacht zipping toward Earth. In fact, this asteroid (which is 100 feet in diameter) is slightly larger than that which exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, in 2013.

At this point, a change in the fairly significant asteroid's trajectory to bring it to hit Earth seems unlikely, but it is still a possibility .

we can only hope that this thing leaves us alone. If she stole our way, maybe we can ask Bruce Willis to bring its role Armageddon to life.
