What Are Odds We’ll See An Asteroid Impact On Earth?

With movies like Deep Impact and Armageddon, we’ve come to realize just how devastating a significant asteroid impact here on Earth would be. 

But have you ever wondered what the odds are that we’ll actually see an asteroid impact like the kinds we’ve seen in the movies?

While we have seen some objects come within a relatively close millions of miles, there are a couple asteroids that have the attention of NASA scientists:

• Asteroid 1950DA has potential of hitting earth in the year 2880.
• Object 101955-1999 RQ36 looks to have several opportunities of hitting earth after 2165.
