Oh yes, tell me, is it possible that CELESTIA can show the orbit
and so that 2004 MN4 will pass the Earth of a distance of
25,000 miles ?
Can Celestia calculate Orbital Perturbations (Like the Dance of the Planets) ?

What is your objection to the article? Is it just that so many people
are unable to read what it really says, and turn it into something
overly alarmist? Because the article itself seems quite good, and the
underlying theory and analysis is very interesting.

"Startled astronomers calculated at one point that its chances of a
direct hit on Friday, April 13, 2029"

Friday the 13th?

Should we call Bruce Willis or the Ghost Busters?
