i never liked mars anyways.

but seriously, is there any threat posed to earth by this?
Nah.. we are safe from that one.. But.. we have a shot at getting hit later on.. SPACE.com -- Asteroid Apophis: Dealing with Earth's Future Troublemaker


Milton, it should make quite a blast, lol. The dust will fly far & wide in the lower gravity of Mars. But as to how large a scope in order to detect it..?? I would guess maybe a 4 inch refractor 8 inch SCT.
