The paths of asteroids can be predicted very accurately. There aren't many "anomalies" in space that would affect their orbits. It's the ones that we don't know about that will kill us.

Especially one six weeks away.  A space vehicle travelling beside an asteroid could steer it by gravity, but only over countless light years.

The one to worry about is 99942 Apophis.  In 2029 there is a 3.2% chance the asteroid will hit earth seven years later.   I changed the subject line, since the OP fell for clickbait.
