Asteroid Could Threaten the Earth in 2182
I found this rather interesting (from Space.com):
Quote:
A large asteroid in space that has a remote chance of slamming into the Earth would be most likely hit in 2182, if it crashed into our planet at all, a new study suggests.
The asteroid, called 1999 RQ36, has about a 1-in-1,000 chance of actually hitting the Earth, but half of that risk corresponds to potential impacts in the year 2182, said study co-author Marķa Eugenia Sansaturio of the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain
