NASA gave the all-clear Monday on an asteroid that previously had a chance of colliding with Earth in 2032. While its odds had briefly risen to a record high of 3.1%, they have now dropped to near ...

According to the ESA's Near-Earth Object Coordination Centre (NEOCC), that surpassed asteroid Apophis' record for highest impact probability, at 2.7 per cent or 1 in 37 odds, from back in 2004.
