But to score a 9 the impact odds of a 600m object must be >99%. The Sentey Table is a highly automated collision monitoring system that continually scans the most current asteroid catalog for possibilities of future impact with Earth over the next 100 years.

All objects score a zero on the Torino Scale; keep your hair appointments and your electric bill on autopay.
