Astronomers are tracking an asteroid that could hit Earth in 2032

Mike Rizzo on Instagram: "🌊We aren't just waiting for the storm to form to get better data - we’re going to meet it in the ocean! ✈️Ground-based observations are missing since much of this system is currently over the ocean. That’s where the Hurricane Hunters come in. They flew into the system gathering the crucial data needed to feed into the weather models. 📈The result? Better accuracy and a more confident prediction before the storm even forms over the Great Plains."
