Global space observers have detected an asteroid measuring 40-100 meters. It was pointed out that the risk of a collision between the space body and the Earth was increasing, with the preliminary date of a possible intersection being December 2032. The risk of collision was about 1.3% (previous month's data). Space agencies are considering options for removing or destroying the object.
