An asteroid discovered just weeks ago has become the most threatening object yet detected in space.
A preliminary orbit suggests that 2002 NT7 is on an impact course with Earth and could strike the planet on 1 February, 2019 - although the uncertainties are large.

Astronomers have given the object a rating on the so-called Palermo technical scale of threat of 0.06, making NT7 the first object to be given a positive value.

From its brightness, astronomers estimate it is about two kilometres wide, large enough to cause continent-wide devastation on Earth.



Anyone hoping that it\'s gonna hit Richard Simmons?  Or that Dell kid....or maybe hit them both, while they\'re making hot gay love to eachother.

We can transport Richard Simmons and the Dell Dude to the moon, and then divert the asteroid to collide with the moon instead.  Would that solve your problem, luckee? BTW I want to put Tom Green on that flight too.
