| Interesting. Incoming comet will probably miss Mars, says NASA - Quote :
- Object-watchers are keenly catching observations of the orbit of an object discovered by Rob McNaught of Australia's Siding Spring Observatory, which is set for a very close Mars fly-by in October 2014.
In fact, although NASA currently assigns the object a one-in-600 chance of an impact, and believes further observations will rule out the chance of a collision – it still remains a possibility. |

| Now I'm really happy that I decided not to move to Mars.
