      But for those fearing Armageddon, don't be alarmed -- the chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000.

          This is no news.

          Space is nothing more than big fucking rocks speeding towards each other.

          Things are always bumping in to each other.

          We have cameras attached to rocks flying through space right now trying to keep an idea on things, and have done so for a very long time.

          I watched a Discovery thing on this very thing a couple years ago.

          Was very interesting.

          Its not a question of if, its WHEN.

          The moon is beat up from years of abuse from things. And its only a few feet from us.

              I thought the odds for the lottery for 1:50 million or so?



              Anyway it also says over the next two months they will be able to gather more data required to predict an impact.

              But I remember hearing somewhere where the government stated they would never tell us if such a thing were going to happen anyway - to prevent chaos I guess.

                    Giant asteroid could hit Earth in 2014

                    LONDON, England (Reuters) -- A giant asteroid is heading for Earth and could hit in 2014, U.S. astronomers have warned British space monitors.

                    But for those fearing Armageddon, don't be alarmed -- the chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000.

                    Asteroid "2003 QQ47" will be closely monitored over the next two months. Its potential strike date is March 21, 2014, but astronomers say that any risk of impact is likely to decrease as further data is gathered.

                    On impact, it could have the effect of 20 million Hiroshima atomic bombs, a spokesman for the British government's Near Earth Object Information Centre told BBC radio.

                    The Centre issued the warning about the asteroid after the giant rock was first observed in New Mexico by the Lincoln Near Earth Asteroid Research Program.

                    "The Near Earth Object will be observable from Earth for the next two months and astronomers will continue to track it over this period," said Dr Alan Fitzsimmons, one of the expert team advising the Centre.

                    Asteroids such as 2003 QQ47 are chunks of rock left over from the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago. Most are kept at a safe distance from the Earth in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

                    But the gravitational influence of giant planets such as Jupiter can nudge asteroids out of these safe orbits and send them plunging towards Earth.

                      It is 2/3's of a mile in diameter, so big for an asteroid, but not on a planet-sized scale. Anyone think in ~10 years the people of earth could come up with a way to stop this thing? I think we could nudge it off course a bit with a nuke, but it would be a challenge to hit - it is travelling at 20 miles per <b>second</b>!

                                    okay, so it is scary, but they have been saying this shit for years now, and nothing has seemed to happen yet. 11 years is a long time, and by then we will have blown it up or something.

                                      I doubt I'll be dead, but I will be 35 (its my birthday) and that is a scary enough prospect on its own.

                                          Didn't you see this movie ?

                                          Nukes don't work. We have to send some of our movie stars up there who are willing to exchange thier lives to save mankind.

                                                how come all the people that lived on earth never had such problems and we have 'em all. Its not rare to hear a thing like that. And besides, we got oil crisis, terrorism and hackers. Its getting hard to survive in this world..

                                                  near earth asteroids is less then those employed at one
