I decided to start a new thread on asteroid 2007 VK184, just because it is fun to monitor new asteroids, and keep abreast of the latest observational data.<br /><br />Interestingly, the popular press has not reported on this yet!<br /><br />So I decided to start this by first re-posting from the first mention from 5 Jan 2008 thread on the Martian asteroid: <font color="black"><br />"On a side note, asteroid 2007 VK184 has just been rated a Torino Scale 1 concern by JPL and NEODYS based on 100 observations spanning 54 days. The object is 0.13 km in diameter, and is a danger to earth in the year 2048. </font>font color=yellow>Please understand that as more observational data is acquired in the next few months, the chance of an earth strike very likely diminish to nil.
