"NASA Debunks Viral Doomsday Claims, Confirms No Asteroid Threat in 2024"

The asteroid 2007 FT3, lost after a brief observation period in 2007, has a small chance of impacting Earth on October 3, 2024, with NASA estimating the odds at about one in 11.5 million. Despite being fourth on NASA's list of potential impactors, there is no significant concern among astronomers, as even the most likely candidates are not expected to hit Earth in the next century. The potential impact would not be catastrophic to human existence but would still result in a very bad day.
