It has been rated as one of the two most dangerous ever recorded, but luckily the chances of the object hitting the planet are slim
Scientists have found a 1,300-foot asteroid heading for Earth that could wipe out mankind in 2032.
Asteroid 2013 TV135 was discovered moving through the Camelopardalis constellation by scientists at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in southern Ukraine last week.
It has been rated as one of the two most dangerous ever recorded - but even so the odds of the object hitting the planet are slim.
The likelihood of 2013 TV135 striking Earth is estimated at 1 in 63,000 - so there is a 99.9984 percent chance that life will continue as normal.
The blast would be 50 times greater than the biggest nuclear bomb and could damage more than 100,000 square miles.
