Science Posted December 25, 2007 Share Posted December 25, 2007 I'm pretty excited about seeing this if it happens. The chanes of an impact will get higher early next month once they have a better grasp on its trajectory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kedas Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 If they don't know yet if it will impact mars then a close fly by could change the orbit of it so it is on track to make a collision with an other object, maybe earth in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
