A large asteroid that passed by Earth last month might return in 19 years and there is a small chance it could strike our planet.

The asteroid, referred to as 2013 TV135, is scheduled to return on Aug. 26, 2032, according to Russian Vice-Premier Dmitry Rogozin, who is in charge of the nation's space research.

"A asteroid is threatening to blow up the Earth," Rogozin said. "Here is a super target for the national cosmonautics."

The asteroid was first discovered by astronomers in the Ukraine. They were able to calculate a potential collision as powerful as two thousand atomic bombs.

Chances that an impact occurs is 1 in 63,000, according NASA.

The space agency is 99.998% certain that when it reaches the planet in 2032, it will simply pass Earth again.

"This is a relatively new discovery," said Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's NEO Program. "With more observations, I fully expect we will be able to significantly reduce, or rule out entirely, any impact probability for the foreseeable future."

Ukrainian astronomers said the 1,345-foot asteroid came within 4.2 million miles of Earth on Sept. 16, but will come within one million miles in 2032.
