A big OOOHHH as NASA's lab released a statement lessening the probable chance of a big rock hitting Mars from 1/25 to 1/10000 yesterday. According to an earlier statement released last month by the same NASA's lab, if the 1/25 impact odd really hit Mars, it will create a crater sizing more than a mile in diameter. With that kind of impact, it will be a huge embarrassment for hydrogen based bomb.
It was a big letdown for those who have been waiting to see some mega-firework through their $1000 telescope and also those who wanted to see a glimpse of how will near-future apocalypse looks like. This should be a great news for martian alike, if they really exist, of course.
Original statement about 2007 WD5 (even rock had name nowadays) can be found here.
