Is this Good News or What! LOL...Asteroid Will Miss Earth in 2019

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - 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 Feb. 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 ( news - web sites)'s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Astronomers initially calculated at least seven potential impact dates beginning in 2019. Only one — Feb. 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.
