SG-1 Fans, start your chuckling...

"A mountain of rock and iron is hurtling towards us from space. Apophis -- a 300-meter diameter asteroid -- is still millions of kilometers distant. But in 2029, it will make a spectacularly close passage by our planet. When it does, its orbit around the Sun will be affected.

A shift of just a few hundred kilometers, and Apophis could return in 2036 to slam into Earth, creating widespread devastation."

I know, I saw that one too, I just picked the more recent and therefore possibly better-known one.

Nah, obscure is more fun.
