July 29, cnn.com - Astronomers said Monday they have determined that a newly discovered, 1.2-mile-wide asteroid will miss the Earth in 2019.

Last week, preliminary calculations of the orbital path traveled by asteroid 2002 NT7 suggested the space rock had about a 1-in-250,000 chance of plowing into the Earth on February 1, 2019. Such an impact would cause devastation on a continental scale.

Follow-up observations during the weekend showed the asteroid and the Earth won't meet -- at least for now, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Astronomers initially calculated at least seven potential impact dates beginning in 2019. Only one -- February 1, 2060 -- has yet to be ruled out, but astronomers expect to dismiss that threat as well after more observations of the asteroid are made.

Diavolo I read yestreday in the newspaper that a Russian astronout dicovered that this asteroid can be destroyed with a special king of lasser which isn't available in our world yet!!

The scientist also said that this lasser should be invented before the the Earth and the asteroid meet ..
That's all what I can remember :)

fa, our planet could be hurt by an asteroid 1.2-mile-wide. That means the end of any kind of human beings. That could happen in 2019, in 17 years.

By the way, I must build a bunker in the house's backyard.
