The asteroid was discovered in June and rediscovered this month. What does that mean? Was it lost or just misplaced? Does whoever finds it again get to name it after himself?

"2012 seems to be the magic number... Jack Van Impe is talking about that year too because of the St Malachy prophecy."
I'll call you January 2, 2013 (after the bowl games), and we'll talk then.
Thanks for writing me back.

Jack Van Impe moved out the date. He sure is fun to watch though.

This idea makes too much sense! If we did it, the Dems would just tax it out of existence...

The risk of impact by 2004 MN4 has fallen again, to 1 in 9,090.

Possible future impacts by NEA 2004MN4 continue to stimulate thinking about protecting the planet, as in these comments by Guy Gugliotta and Rusty Schweickart.

I keep hoping that there will be some action on actually doing something about moving asteroids rather than just cataloging bodies. The techniques involved in moving asteroids would be in the same line of application as asteroid mining, thus advancing the state of the art, and cataloging should also include some analysis of the mineral nature of each asteroid. Some asteroids would be much more valuable than most of them depending on mineral make-up.

Although, even a flying gravel pit would be handy if building a large base someplace in open space.
