Quote:For the tl;dr crowd, let’s get this out of the way right away: asteroid 2012 DA14 is almost certainly not going to hit the Earth next February. And by "almost certainly", I mean it: the odds of an impact are so low they are essentially zero. This does not rule out an impact at some future date, but for now we’re safe.http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badast...next-year/
The article I posted seems to have been edited. My topic title was copy-pasted straight from the first paragraph, which now says "NASA's data shows the 60-meter asteroid, spotted by Spanish stargazers in February, will whistle by Earth in 11 months."
Sorry for the poor source guys.
