Scientists detected a massive asteroid that is set to crash on Earth by September 2020. This killer asteroid will hit an area near the city of Los Angeles, California. 

Both NASA and FEMA coordinated to theoretically conclude that the space rock, measuring 330 ft, is approaching the Earth too quickly.

According to AOL, the researchers started to gather information regarding the asteroid after they have spotted it using a large survey telescope. The asteroid has a slight but real chance of hitting Earth. 
A space rock strike could bring a territorial catastrophe, one that may quickly escalate into global proportions. 

NASA does have a plan in the event such an instance befalls Earth. In conjunction with FEMA, the space agency organized a run-through of the possibilities that may arise should a space rock come speeding towards the planet.

Meanwhile, The Washington Post stated that a lot of specialists would prefer not just to stand around and see what happens. This week, more than 100 planetary researchers, physicists, and architects distributed an open letter in support of a joint European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA mission to review and redirect a near-Earth space rock. 

Towards the beginning of December, ESA's board will meet to fund the budget for the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment (AIDA) mission.

It could take up to two years to construct such a "motor impactor" shuttle and one year or more to reach the space rock. In that case, a clearing will happen in place of an AIDA mission. 

The meeting, which says that up to one million space rocks can strike Earth, concluded that scientists had detected only 1% of them to date. In light of that, an open letter issued by planetary researchers has been circulated in support of further missions to expand available information on space rocks.
