Newly discovered asteroid missed Earth but will return in 2032

MIAMI, Oct 19: A newly discovered asteroid made a ‘close’ approach to Earth this week – at least in astronomical terms – and it is likely to come back around in 2032, but there is only a miniscule risk of it smashing into the planet, NASA said on Friday. The asteroid known as 2013 TV135 came within 6.7 million km of Earth on Wednesday, the US space agency said.
