99942 Apophis ( /əˈpɒfɪs/, previously known by its provisional designation 2004 MN4) is a near-Earth asteroid that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 because initial observations indicated a small probability (up to 2.7%) that it would strike the Earth in 2029. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , 12 -27 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://www.treehugger.com/natural... , 2 -12 -13 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://www.spacedaily.com/reports... - Thomas Page

"The south polar mountain on Vesta is very, very large—almost as large as the largest mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons," Russell said, referring to the towering, roughly 25-kilometer volcanic peak on Mars.

http://spaceweather.com/ Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) are space rocks larger than approximately 100m that can come closer to Earth than 0.05 AU. None of the known PHAs is on a collision course with our planet, although astronomers are finding new ones all the time. 11 -17 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... , The Sky IS falling.
