An asteroid about as big as a basketball court has a 1 in 75 chance of smacking into Mars’ equator while travelling about 8 miles a second on January 30^th. If it does it will be similar to the object that hit remote central Siberia in 1908, unleashing energy equivalent to a 15-megaton nuclear bomb and leave a hole the size of the famed Meteor Crater in Arizona. The NASA Mars Rover is in the neck-of-the-woods but will be out of range if the hit occurs.
