It's called Apophis. And it could hit Earth in 31 years: "In Egyptian myth, Apophis was the ancient spirit of evil and destruction, a demon that was determined to plunge the world into eternal darkness. A fitting name, astronomers reasoned, for a menace now hurtling towards Earth from outerspace. Scientists are monitoring the progress of a 390m wide asteroid discovered last year that is potentially on a collision course with the planet."
