Not to move too far off-topic, but this is one of my favorites. Granted it was written in the 70's it's still pretty accurate as far as global destruction and the skills needed to survive.
Playing around with the simulator for the 2004 MN4 and Earth orbits, looks like it will be about.105 AU from Earth on that date. However, on April 14, 2052 it's a scant.0027 AU...now that's close! The simulator actually shows the two hitting each other.
