NASA says massive asteroid will narrowly miss Earth

NASA has said a 2.5-mile-wide asteroid will pass by and narrowly miss Earth on April 29th, reassuring people not to worry. Although if the asteroid did hit the planet, it is large enough to cause global effects. NASA is also working on a program that will help humanity repel an asteroid if it does seem to be on its way to crashing into the planet.
