"Observations by astronomers tracking near-Earth asteroids have raised a new object to the top of the Earth-threat list.
The asteroid could strike the Earth in 2102. However, Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near Earth Object Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, US, told New Scientist: "The most likely situation, by far, is that additional observations will bring it back down to a zero.
He adds: "We're more likely to be hit between now and then by an object that we don't know about."
Ok now.... does that line in red make you feel any better???????? Come on, if that thing is 12 years away and they can see it, why can't they see the sneaky little bugger that might be 2 years away? LOL oh well. Just goes to show you, when it's your time, it's your time. So prepare now, make your piece with this world and keep it that way. Ya know if we all did that, this would be a much better world to live in anyway :-)
