Scientists were successfully able to find additional digital images of the asteroid MN4 in digital images from March 2004, which help rule out the possibility that it will hit Earth (the more timeslices, the more precise the orbit/trajectory calculation). Current calculations have it missing the Earth by only 40,000-48,000 miles.
