NASA predicts Worldwide Holiday on Feb 1, 2019 as the world is scheduled to end . Discovered on July 9, 2002 by the LINEAR team, asteroid "2002 NT7" is in an orbit, which is highly inclined with respect to the Earth's orbit about the sun and in fact nearly intersects the orbit of the Earth. While the orbits of Earth and 2002 NT7 are close to one another at one point in their respective orbits, that does not mean that the asteroid and Earth themselves will get close to one another. Just after an asteroid like 2002 NT7 is discovered, the limited number of observations available do not allow its trajectory to be tightly constrained and the object's very uncertain future motion often allows a very low probability of an Earth impact at some future date. Just such a low probability impact has been identified for February 1, 2019 and a few subsequent dates. As additional observations of the asteroid are made in the coming months, and perhaps pre-discovery archival observations of this object are identified, the asteroid's orbit will become more tightly constrained and the future motion of the asteroid will become better defined. By far the most likely scenario is that, with additional data, the possibility of an Earth impact will be eliminated.

These predictions are always open to refinement. It's not a very exact science when the asteroid is still more than a decade away. I recently wrote about the asteroid Apophis, which scientists once believed to have only a 1 in 37 chance of hitting the Earth. They now think the odds are only 1 in 45000. Don't worry too much just yet!
Well because the odds keep changing the news papers are unable to tell for sure.. more or less they will wait for like 2018 and see were we are at that point.
OHG I'm Still Unmarried ,Guess had to get Married quick then?? well hope to earn $500/day till 2018 then?
Asteroid 2002 NT7: Potential Earth Impact In 2019 Ruled Out Don Yeomans July 28, 2002 With the processing of a few more observations of asteroid 2002 NT7 through July 28, we can now rule out any Earth impact possibilities for February 1, 2019. While we cannot yet completely rule out an impact possibility on February 1, 2060, it seems very likely that this possibility will be soon ruled out as well as additional positional observations are processed. Because the SENTRY system tracks a multitude of test particles in an effort to map the uncertainties of the asteroid's future positions, some of these test particles can take slightly different dynamical paths. Hence there are currently two entries for 2060 in our IMPACT RISK table. The entry with the higher risk (larger Palermo Technical Scale) would be the value that would then take precedence. http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news133.html
Every 2-3 years apparently a new asteroid is going to hit the earth, I don't think one ever will. And if one ever comes close they will surely come up with a way to knock it of course or something.
Your watching too much Armageddon man! There is no way Nasa will launch a spaceship and Bruce Willis wont' save the world.
