i liked their hit ... back to your post ... 2.7% chance of impacting the earth in 2029 ... 99% chance i'll be watching for it then since you've told me ...

The word from the boffins is that it will pass so close in 2029 that it will go through our satellite trajectories!

The problem will then be in 2036, when the chance it may hit us is much greater, but they can't be sure of that until it passes us again in 2029.

Apparently it came rather close in 2004 and that's when they knew about it!
