Asteroid won’t smash into Earth, so we survive without Bruce Willis’ help
It’s not the end of the world as we know it. An asteroid is going to come within about 7,600 miles of Earth around noon today, but the Washington Post reported that it won’t hit Earth, much to the chagrin of wackos wearing the sandwich boards across the country (and probably also to doomsday prophet Harold Camping).
So bust out the telescopes if you don’t want to miss a thing the asteroid, called “2011 MD,” which is said to be between 15 feet and 60 feet wide. Lucky for us, as the list below shows, our chances of dying via asteroid strike are only one in 1,960,000,000.
