[quote:Anonymous Coward 16648993:MV8yMTMwMzkxXzM1OTUzOTM5XzY3QkVFOTdE] also i guess these russians don't know about energy=massxvelocity. because...this thing is only a couple hundred meters across, and the velocity is unknown, not to mention the mass. therefore...the article says it will have a force of 25,000 atomic bombs. what size bombs? how do you know without knowing mass or velocity? i call BS.

Less than a month ago NASA announced that the Earth is in fact safe from the infamous asteroid, Apophis, which was expected to collide with our planet in 2036.
It is now reported that the chances of impact are lower than one in a million.
Despite that good news, it turns out that any celebrations might be a little premature.
Two weeks ago Russian astronomers Andrey Oreshko and Timur Kryachko discovered yet another asteroid, with the catchy name of 2012 YQ1, which will, in all likelihood, crash into Earth, but not until 2106.
