NASA has confirmed that the asteroid 2007 FT3 poses no impact threat to Earth for the next century, with a Torino scale rating of 0, indicating no hazard. Despite sensationalist reports, the probability of the asteroid hitting Earth in October 2024 is extremely low, akin to rolling a six on nine or ten dice simultaneously. NASA and its partners continue to monitor near-Earth objects, and recent data shows that no alarms have been raised even for asteroids that have come closer than the Moon.
