TERROR FROM ABOVE!!

We have always heard off different threats space poses us. Let it be cosmic rays, asteroids, meteoroids or UV rays. Today we will discuss about the statics about the asteroids, that may collide with our planet within hundred years. we will be discussing the probability and time of the collision of the asteroids and their different sizes.
This time ther is a lineup. We will start with the most likely collision to least likely....U know wat I mean ;D


ASTEROID,                  Size (diameter in feets),       Probability of Impact         ,When it could hit

1. 2000 SG344                  121                                 1/770                                2068-2073
2. 101955 1999 RQ36      1837 ;o                          1/1400                              2169-2199
3. 2000 VK184                 427                                1/3000                              2048-2057
4. 2006  QV89                  98                                  1/3100                              2019-2042
5. 2008 CK70                   102                                1/3500                              2030-2031
6. 1979 XB                        2254                              1/3 million                         2056-2086
7. 2010 AR85                    3609                              1/53 million                       2015-2106


The 2010 AR85 is the most recently discovered asteroid and may collide us in 2015 and look at the size people!!!! 3609 feet diameter...:O ................Phew! the probability saves us.....1 in 53 million....But the size reminds me of the blockbuster movie ARMAGEDDON!


Peace \m/
