Doomsday asteroid coming in February
The asteroid named 2016 WF9 will come into Earth's orbit very soon.
It is said to be around a half a mile in size and that could seriously affect all of us if it didn't actually kill all life off if it hits Earth.
However, NASA says it will not come closer than 32 million miles.
NASA say they don't 'think' it will hit Earth.
Be prepared .... you have been warned!

According to this article, an asteroid which could destroy a city, only hit Earth between 1,000 and 10,000 years.
2016 WF9 will miss Earth but we may be able to see it.
