Based on this information:

The chances of a catastrophic collision are just one in 909,000.


I don't think I am going to lose much sleep. 8-)

This has better odds of hitting earth then you winning the lottery when it's up to 300 million bucks. Lol.

odds don't mean nothing, one in something means IT COULD. never dismiss anything as random or "harmless"...

(what are the odds of being hit by lightning or winning the lottery? pretty steep... but it DOES happen.)

Wow, that's scary stuff to think about. But it's so fascinating too. I need to take an astronomy class before I finish college. :wink:
