The researchers found that the interval between such devastating potential asteroid impacts on Earth is one of millenia, not centuries, based on the known asteroid population.
The unknown asteroid population, not so much.

“...and generating brightness greater than the sun.”
Can that really be true? I do remember seeing video of that asteroid over Russia, though.
Meh. Something is going to get us eventually. I seriously have enough to worry about right now as it is, LOL! :)

I can think of a number of locations that really need an asteroid.

I would say CNN news is more of a threat to Earth than a potential asteroid strike.
