How big is a small mountain?
Would it be more accurate to call it a large hill heading towards earth?

"and a step to the right"
Just want to hear the BARF version.

"Killer cops point asteroids at innocent civilians while the GOP forces war for oil in Alaska; draft enacted for illegal immigrant Teachers while Nazi U.S. Militants ban cocaine hurting poor Mexican drug lords trying to feed their families"

From the article:
"Even though experts say the giant object, known as 2014 UR116, poses no immediate threat of collision, its unexpected discovery underscores how little is still known about asteroids and their unpredictable orbits. "

So the only story is, there might be an asteroid we haven't found yet that could hurt us. Which, well will always be the case FOREVER.

Will there ever be a point when we can definitively say, we know about every rock hurdling through space that might take us out. Nope.

We should launch Kim Kardashian's ass at it to knock it out of it's collision course. Keep Nicki Minaj on standby.

There is little indication that this particular asteroid could hit the Earth in the next few decades, though over a much longer period a collision looks quite likely, says Natan Esmant, an expert with the official Space Research Institute in Moscow.

meh. itll be important to work on fixing this issue, but sensational reporting like "heading our way" seems unnecessary.
