A fresh assessment of a distantly risky asteroid brings good news: it's even less of a threat than astronomers had feared.
The chances of an asteroid dubbed 1950 DA crashing into Earth were always tiny and long in the future: As of 2015, scientists had calculated that the object had a 1 in 8,000 chance of impacting Earth in the year 2880.

Our problem here on planet Earth is that we are sitting ducks for some as yet undiscovered or unseen space rock to impact the surface. Where the impact occurs is the deciding factor as to how cataclysmic it might be.
At present time, there are no less than 1,800 space objects that carry the label NEOA (Near Earth Orbit Asteroid) and there is not a single astronomer or scientist who can predict when an asteroid will get here. The only thing of which they are certain is that it IS going to happen.
