Talk:Earth-crossing asteroid

Untitled
The article curently would have it that "earth-crosser" asteroids will not necessarily collide with earth but that "earth-crossing" asteroids potentially might do. I can find no reliable sources which make this distinction, however, I can find plenty which use the terms interchangeably, including in this paper by the Shoemakers who I think all would agree are authoratitive on this subject. The only place I can find the definition given here is in this thesis paper which would appear to be the source, and even that does not explicitly state the distinction in terms claimed. Everybody else seems to have earth-crosser/crossing defined as the Apollos plus the Atens. Since there is nothing in this article besides the highly suspect definition, I am going to redirect the page.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  17:24, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
