  What happens is we hope and we pray. But we're always dismayed at the end.

    Only a ~2% chance 4 years from now. And it’s an order of magnitude smaller than the one that hit Chicxulub. Yawn

  And in 2029, a 340-meter asteroid called Apophis—after the Egyptian god of chaos and darkness—will pass within 32,000 km of Earth, which is closer than some geosynchronous satellites. This will happen on 13 April 2029—Friday the 13th, that is.
