Thanks decimon.
Exactly 20 years from today, an asteroid about the size of a 25-story building will come closer to Earth than the networks of communications satellites orbiting the planet. The chance of an impact are extremely remote -- only about 1 in 45,000 -- but the asteroid, named Apophis, will be back. Analysis of the asteroid's orbit show it will return to Earth seven years later. Astronomers don't yet know if Apophis' second visit will be a rendezvous or a collision, as its orbit will be bent by Earth's gravity during the 2029 flyby.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

By 2029 I'll be of an age where my main response would be to buy a bottle of the best single malt Scotch I can find, stretch out in a chaise lounge and watch the sucker come in. Let the young ‘uns run around in a panic.
