Asteroid May Collide With Mars - Jan 30, 2008
1 in 75 odds is pretty good considering...
What scares me is this thing is 50 Meters across, moving at 13.5 Kilometers per SECOND and nobody noticed it until it was within 7.5 Million Kilometers of Earth. Had it hit Earth, it would have released energy equal to 3 Million Tonnes of TNT and created a crater 1Km wide - about the same as the crater in Arizona.
Best estimates are that it will miss Mars by only 50 000Km.

How cool would this be to watch on the 6 o'clock news?!?!
