La Canada Flintridge (CA) - Researchers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Canada Flintridge, part of NASA's Neart-Earth Object Program, who jokingly refer to themselves as "the Solar System Defense Team", are tracking a 160 foot diameter asteroid that has a 1 in 75 chance of striking Mars. The asteroid, dubbed 2007 WD5, is currently behind the moon. When it emerges in two weeks, scientists will be able to get a better fix on its trajectory and determine the revised probability of impact. Would be cool to see some high res images of the impact if it actually hits Mars. [xmaslaugh]

It won't hit - the aliens in their secret base will blast it out of existence first!
