    How unbelievable! I am proud of being able to live in an age where scientists are well-advanced enough to predict the flight of heavenly bodies! Still, it seems difficult to believe, nay, am afraid to believe. It is quite surprising that the asteroid is less likely to hit our planet though it passes near by. And nothing is seen commented about its arrival in 2017. If it hit the earth, it would be a tragedy that would be remembered for generations. Let the tragedy take a different course itself leaving us behind being unaffected. Thank you.

    Space is so mysterious. There are many unseen things there. Scientists are working hard to understand them. So is there any possible way we can see the flyby of this asteroid. people of which part of the globe would get this opportunity? Thanks for science in the news.i must say VOA news is really full of knowledge and information on many subjects.

    I think asteroid that is comming to the earth will just pass near the earth or just go. So it can't hit the earth and it can't break the earth like the movies. I'll sleep when asteroid pass near the earth.

    The world is so bigger. We, the peoples and everything here, are so smaller. If God created the world he made this to show the infinitude of your power. And, the man think, some times, be God. Sorry, no today, no yet, never.
