Does this asteroid have a name, given by Astronomers?
Is NASA watching the asteroid's course?
Is this asteroid projected to approach Earth in 2014 or 2020,
or are there two asteroids?
Thanks.

The size of Asteroids in not constant due to constant alterations by velocity.This is not predictable since much depends on Jupiter's activity.Many observatories monitor when telescopes detecst one. NASA is very much on the forefront.There could be more than 2 asteriods heading towards the Sun.

It won't hit the earth and it's small and perhaps tough to see. Try this site but you can see them all the time with a good telescope.
