Astronomers Monitor Asteroid to Pass Near Mars -NASA

Because of current uncertainties about the asteroid's exact orbit, there is a 1-in-75 chance of 2007 WD5 impacting Mars. If this unlikely event were to occur, it would be somewhere within a broad swath across the planet north of where the Opportunity rover is located.

It's going to fly past Mars January 30. If it does hit it would be right around 3 in the morning, Pacific time. Of course it could fly by a good deal earlier or later, as much as eight hours' uncertainty on that arrival time.
