NASA: Asteroid Is No Longer a Threat to Earth - kcentv.com - KCEN HD - Waco, Temple, and Killeen

(KCEN) -- Well, we survived the predicted end of the world.

And now there's more good news.  

NASA says an asteroid that was feared to be on a collision course with the earth no longer poses a threat.

It had been believed that there was a one-percent chance that an asteroid would hit our planet in 28 years.    

But after observing it's future course, astronomers say that risk has been completely eliminated.  

Scientists say a collision with the earth would have released energy several thousand times more powerful than the atomic bombs that ended World War II.
