Perhaps don't make plans for Valentines Day in 2046 - an asteroid may be hitting the Earth. Boffins have announced they are keeping an eye on a newly-discovered space rock that may smash into our planet - and have pinpointed 14 February as the likely closest approach.
NASA said: "We've been tracking a new asteroid named 2023 DW that has a very small chance of impacting Earth in 2046. Often when new objects are first discovered, it takes several weeks of data to reduce the uncertainties and adequately predict their orbits years into the future.
"Orbit analysts will continue to monitor asteroid 2023 DW and update predictions as more data comes in." The space agency say the asteroid has an average diameter of 49m and is currently 0.12 astronomical unit (au) - or 11 billion miles - from Earth.
