Okay, this is only going to be funny to fans of Stargate, but there’s this asteroid out there that has a very small chance of striking the Earth in about 30 years. What’s it called? Apophis.

Fans of the show will be imagining the asteroid decked out in gold lame’ and eyeliner. I have to wonder at whoever is naming small objects in the solar system; that’s the second possible cheezy-SF reference in as many weeks. The other one was the new planet or moon or whatever that was just named “Xena.”
