Excerpt:
Nasa has predicted that a Big Ben-sized asteroid could hit the Moon and has given odds for the destructive collision.
The space agency had previously feared the chance of a collision with Earth could reach 20 per cent by April.
Scientists now believe that the rock will sail past our planet with 167,000 miles to spare.
The odds of the asteroid hitting Earth now stand at just 1-in-37,000, dramatically lower than initial estimates.
