Newly found giant asteroid poses no threat to Earth for at least next 150yrs

[thesolar65]

NASA has recently revealed that the newly found massive asteroid, dubbed as 2014 UR116, is not a threat to Earth for at least next 150 years.
Latest news reports from Russia have stated that a researcher discovered a 1,312-foot space rock that could pose a danger to Earth; however, calculations from NASA and the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reported conversely, Discovery news reported.

Officials at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California stated that while this approximately 400-meter sized asteroid has a three-year orbital period around the sun and returns to the Earth's neighborhood periodically, it does not represent a threat, because its orbital path does not pass sufficiently close to the Earth's orbit.

Asteroid UR116 was first seen about six years ago, according to the NASA statement. Officials have now re-computed the space rock's route around the sun and found that it poses no threat to Earth.

So saved on this birth, next birth, but may not be lucky in my third birth as human of course!!...

400 meters??
whoa!!
But then its calculated path is not close enough to earth so theres hardly any need to worry.

I wont be alive that long soo

No worries. In your fourth birth you'd come out as a cockroach, able to withstand all flavors of radioactivity!

that cannot be known... the article on "russia today" said that if its path takes it near mars, then the gravity of mars will change its path.

We don't have any threat from space yet as they say. But, we might not able to see that threat with current technology. Wait for surprises.

the chelyabinsk meteor flying over russia in 2013 was quite the surprise... but astronomers failed in using that space rock to demonstrate threats from space.

Advancements in missile tech will help us shoot that thing out by then
