This whole 'asteroid could hit the earth' thing that they've been doing the past couple of years is lots of fun. We get to be all scared for awhile, and then after another month of observations, they get enough orbital data to find out that it isn't coming within 700,000 miles of Earth. Yeah, that's close by astronomical standards, but still so far away that a telescopic view wouldn't yield any detail from my backyard.
