Earth safe from planet-killer asteroids for next millennium.
TL;DR Summary
Scientists have claimed that giant asteroid collisions pose no real threat to Earth for at least 1,000 years. While a 3,600ft-wide space rock known as '1994 PC1' poses the largest risk, this was still minuscule, with reportedly just a 0.00151 per cent chance of passing within the Moon's orbit. However, smaller asteroids do still pose a risk to Earth during the next 100 and 1,000 years.
