The odds of asteroid 2006 HZ51's impact currently stand at just one in six million. The New Scientist journal wrote that the asteroid is 800 meters in diameter. -Interfax

They should name it Hillary's Butt.

Chance of asteroids hitting earth very slim - Russian astronomers

But that one time is going to smart for a second.

Whether or not an asteroid hits us in the next 100 years is pretty much deterministic (non-random) and depends on the laws of physics. If a large asteroid is going to his us, it is already on the path to do so. The only uncertainty lies in the fact that it is too hard for us to predict what is going to happen over the course of 100 years. Of course it is possible that we will be able to deflect such an asteroid in the future.

In astronomical terms, isn't anything greater than 1 chance in a billion considered a close call?

The chance of a large asteroid hitting our planet in the next 100 years is "extremely slim"

On the other hand, the change it will happen in the next 100,000 years is pretty good.

The chance of a large asteroid hitting our planet in the next 100 years is "extremely slim," astronomer Sergei Smirnov of the Pulkovo Main Observatory told journalists.

I am deeply troubled by reassurances from the science and technology program that brought us Chernobyl etc..

As noted in the latest edition of "Sky and Telescope," the geological evidence in the rocks going back about 200 million years shows that the earth is hit about every 60 millions years by a big one. The last hit was 63 million years ago and exterminated much of the planet's life, including the dinosaurs. It will happen again.

The Russians are the same people who debunk global warming, so they're obviously wrong.
