Now you have to wait 1.3 million years if the calculations were correct.

Just make sure to empty your liquor cabinet by that date and turn off the lights.

They didn't say it would hit our atmosphere, just that it might come within the solar system. That allows a lot of room for us to slip by.
All the same, I guess I better not start any long books.

In as much as the solar system (like most of everything else in the physical universe on that scale or larger) is mostly empty space, “smash into” is a bizarre choice of words. Pass through through, wreaking havoc on planetary orbits and causing drastic heating of all the planets, is vastly more probable than “smash[ing] into” anything.
