A "City Killer" Asteroid Is Coming Back in 2028 - NASA Is Ready

A dangerous “city killer” asteroid is making another pass by Earth in 2028, and scientists are watching it closely. Known as asteroid 2011 AG5, it once had a small chance of impact that triggered global concern. Since then, NASA has developed advanced tracking and planetary defense strategies to keep Earth safe. New data shows we’re far better prepared than ever before to detect and deflect potential threats. Watch now to see how humanity plans to stop a disaster before it even begins.
