The asteroid was discovered after passing by Earth in December, and after April, it won’t be visible again until June 2028, when it is expected to fly harmlessly by our planet again.

For an hour, HERA flew as close as 5,600 kilometers from the Martian surface, at a speed of 33,480 kilometers an hour. It ...

and astronomers will take time to interpret the telescope's data and determine what it could mean for the asteroid's route before it shows itself again in 2028.

JWST may rule out an impact in 2032. But there's a chance we may be stuck with a few-percentage impact probability until 2028, when the asteroid makes its next Earth flyby. Bit awkward ...

The chances that an asteroid hits Earth in 2032 are now at their highest since the object was first discovered, according to NASA.
