An asteroid is coming, and scientists are excited. Fear not, Earth is safe

An asteroid is coming, and scientists are excited. Fear not, Earth is safe - CNN.com


Um ! Aha !  So most people have played or at least seen the games of pool, billiards or snooker,in which equal sized balls are made to strike each other and go off in certain directions. Now many of us,also, will have played or watched marbles. Okay, getting the idea. Now marbles is played with different sized glass balls and depending on the velocity or speed, a small one can knock a bigger all over the place.
So what if this big asteroid hits one or more small satellites, as it hurtles though on it's path.Or, indeed, the other way round. Would that collision (s) be enough to deflect the asteroid and make it move in a different direction??
