This is a java enabled path of known asteroids and just how close they come to earth. check out asteroid named PA17 and check out the date oct. 10, 2112. another example is asteroid #BE2, check out march 29, 2008.
Make sure you have Java enabled on your browser to see the applet. This applet is provided as a 3D orbit visualization tool. The applet was implemented using only 2-body methods, and hence should not be used for determining accurate long-term trajectories (over several years or decades) or planetary encounter, but still is a scary thought.
