7000 Celestial Bodies Headed Towards Earth, 1000 are dangerous

I heard that news on 1010 WINS New York radio. I checked for a text version on 1010wins.com but couldn't find it (nor anywhere on the web).

Can anyone shed some more info on this?

Thanks!

Here's a good place to start:

neo.jpl.nasa.gov...

This ``potential'' to make close Earth approaches does not mean a PHA will impact the Earth. It only means there is a possibility for such a threat. By monitoring these PHAs and updating their orbits as new observations become available, we can better predict the close-approach statistics and thus their Earth-impact threat.

I'm more worried about the ones we DON'T know about....

Thanks for the link Chad...

Thanks for the link! I'll look into that.

wow, i actually just heard a person from australia say that they saw a "fireball" in the sky lol

Lol, asteroids or planets crashing into Earth.
I worry more about what I’m going to wear from day to day.
Reason why? I can do something about what I wear, I can’t stop a planet.
Plus chances are it would go quick anyway.
