	The Anniston Star - Asteroid alert: What's an astronomer to do?
		The asteroid, now designated 2004 AS1, was not a planet killer, like the one that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, or even a city killer.
		Believed at the time to be about 100 feet across, 2004 AS1 would most likely have exploded with the force of a one-megaton bomb several miles up in the atmosphere.
		Subsequent observations showed that 2004 AS1, which came no closer than 7 million miles to Earth, is in no danger of hitting Earth in the next century.

		Some scientists believed on 13 January that a 30m object, later designated 2004 AS1, had a one-in-four chance of hitting the planet within 36 hours.
		Designated 2004 DW, it was found on 17 February by an automated sky survey telescope in California.
		2004 DW was found by California Institute of Technology astronomers Chad Trujillo and Mike Brown, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University, the same team that discovered Quaoar in 2002.

		2004 AS1 is a pretty pissy little asteroid really when you stack it up against the one that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs but it would still have made the 9/11 attack on the twin towers look like an amateur effort.

		The trajectory impact of asteroid 2004 AS1 would have been imminent, within 24 hours, said Dave Tholen, a University of Hawaii planetary astronomer recognized internationally for his work on asteroids.
		Tholen said there was confusion over AS1 because the first of four observations on Jan. 13 computed by the planet center to help astronomers find it the second night turned out to be wrong.
		Asteroid 2004 FH, about 100 feet in diameter, was reported to be the closest asteroid flyby of Earth ever recorded, passing 26,500 miles above the surface.

		David Whitehouse writes in bbcnews.com that some astronomers believed that asteroid 2004 AS1 had a one-in- four chance of hitting the Earth on January 14 or 15.
		At less than a mile wide, it was not big enough to cause a major extinction event, but it would have caused widespread local damage wherever it landed.
		2004 AS1 eventually passed by at a distance of about 32 times the distance from the Earth to the Moon, so it turned out to pose no danger to life on Earth.

		At NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, a senior engineer predicted that the approaching asteroid, named 2004 AS1, had a 25 percent chance of crashing into Earth somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere in the next 36 hours.
		The closest 2004 AS1 ever got to Earth was about 8 million miles (13 million kilometers), sometime in mid-February.
		The scare was the latest in a series of false alarms that highlights the apparent lack of procedure for dealing with a possible asteroid threat.
