But Not Later

As of this afternoon it's back at the top of the risk list but only at a Torino 1 based on a different close pass date. As I've watched the updates I've noticed a tremendous cycling of potential hits rating a Torino 1. I don't know if the dates changed or just the intermediate possibilities changed, but the color pattern was ever changing. When the old data was first added no dates were Torino 1. It appears this asteroid will have a lot of potentially risky passes for a long time to come.

Rats because, as explained elsewhere, I think we need a serious scare.

Happy Holidays,
Mark
