Hi Dean, thanks for the info. Yes, it seems there was an unnecessary and sensationalistic blowup of info here. Too bad, because some people are scared of this asteroid, and they don’t need to be.

That date – April 13, 2036 – has been around for several years, by the way. We mentioned that date in EarthSky’s original interview with Don Yeomans about asteroid Apophis in 2006. So the Russian scientists didn’t just pinpoint the date.

Thank you for adding to the discussion!

Bill Plait did an e-mail interview with the russian scientist mentioned in the original story. Apparently he’s pissed off at being misquoted.

Not trying to promote this article, but it has some information. ( http://www.helium.com/items/2087561-astronomers-refute-news-story-of-a-killer-asteroid-hitting-the-earth-in-2036 )

Anthony, I understand your frustration. It stems from the fact that space is very BIG. And these little asteroids are tiny by contrast. At least we have the technology to find them!
