Hi,
This is the "rock" that scare "sh*ts" out of the astronomers as the Torino impact hazard scale reached 4 (I think) during end of december 2004.
Anyway, pray and hope that it got a "safe" journey through space and won't hit anything on it's way that'll turn it towards us...
Have a nice day.
PS: Jupiter must be "eating snakes" and didn't do his job...
