Re: Uh-oh

"Here we have a known object coming at us, and yet we can't spot it..."

Isn't that the point though? 10 years ago they estimated a 1:7000 chance of it hitting. Now they are looking at where it would have to be if it was actually going to hit us and they can't find it, despite knowing that they can see objects of that size at that distance. Ergo, it's not there, ie not in the area where it would have to be to hit us.
