Introducing Asteroid 2004 MN4 (Dec 24 2004 17:30 GMT) - Numerous readers wrote in with bits about a potential asteroid collision: "The recently discovered asteroid 2004 MN4 is currently listed as having a 1/233 chance of hitting the Earth. It is 420 m across and if it strikes the Earth it will release an energy of 1,900 Megatons of TNT (the largest nuclear weapon ever detonated, Tsar Bomba had a yield of only 50 Megatons). It is also the only asteroid that currently has a Torino scale value of 2." So, in summary, there's a 1-in-233 chance of the worst disaster in recorded history happening on April 13, 2029, and a 232-in-233 chance of nothing happening. |

Hi, Nice To Meet You (Again) (Dec 24 2004 17:27 GMT) - With Joel out experiencing the Great American Christmas Road Trip, the news posting responsibility has fallen on me for the day, with our friend Brian from Kotaku pitching in when he can.
