uhmmm... has anyone calculated the risk of this comet hurtling towards earth after being projected by a near miss of Mars?

- lutusp 14y agoVery, very improbable -- the risk to Earth from this comet is much less than the risk from any number of similar objects in unrelated orbits. And the latter risk is very low. The fact that this comet is going to approach Mars doesn't mean it presents any plausible risk to Earth.
