2004 MN4 Asteroid Odds Inching Up Again

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the duck-and-cover dept.

bfwebster writes "The latest update from NASA now gives 2004 MN4 a 1-in-37 chance (probability of 2.7%) of hitting Earth on April 13, 2029. That's a bump up from the 1-in-46 (2.2%) odds given this weekend and almost a 10x increase in probability from the original 1-in-300 odds announced late last week. Interesting times, indeed."

    His daughter will definitly still be alive since she's an elf.

    I think you're talking about Liv Tyler, daughter of Steven Tyler of the band Aerosmith. Liv Tyler plays an elf in Lord of The Rings. She also plays in Armageddon as do both Bruce Willis and Steven Tyler, which is probably why you linked her to the wrong father.

    I wouldn't know what movie any of Bruce Willis' daughters plays an elf in, unless you mean she really is an elf ofcourse. :)
