I heard about it from a friend the other night. He said that
scientists said a comet which will soon be making a pass (or has just made
one) near our planet will actually collide in 2145 with Earth. I am highly
dubious and would like to know more. I also believe that, depending on size
of course, by then we should have no problem in deflecting it.
