The Apothis asteroid is the one to be slightly concerned about, its orbit brings it close to the Earth in 2029 and close again in 2036, as more information is known about its orbit better predictions can be made.
The date it will be passing the Earth is a little worrying though, April 13th 2036, which just happens to be a Friday but not to worry the chance of it hitting Earth is about 4 in a million so you stand a better chance of winning the X lotto!

What if it hit the moon?..... No more tides....... no more madness.......no more moon charts.......no more moon, June, soon, songs........ no more "Mooning" out car windows. The world just won't be the same.

Well as the Moon is already moving away from us at a rate of about 4cm a year that will eventually happen but we will either have time to get used to it or we will be (as a species) long past caring.

No more full moon parties! Just no moon parties

Some of us will be less 'slightly concerned' than others

Is it a case of 'we're all here, because we're not all there' ?
