[quote:Anonymous Coward 12591899:MV8yMzc1MzkyXzQwNjMzODk5X0ZENEEzQzkx] It was a publically announced discovery in 2003 not 2013, also it was declared a non-threat that same year, this article has to be from 2003, i could not find a year for it, but i was able to quickly look the asteroid up, its a non-threat. Just google the asteroid's name you'll find all the data you need then you can go get a pizza like muah. [/quote]
Original Message
Scientists were today warning of a possible asteroid collision with the Earth.
An asteroid around two-thirds of a mile wide (1.2km) could hit the earth on March 21, 2014 and has been classified as "an event meriting careful monitoring" by astronomers. Asteroids are kept at a safe distance from Earth in the asteroid belt between the orbits of 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 into the Earth's neighbourhood.
