🔭 Is there ultimately a risk that the asteroid Apophis will collide with Earth in 2029?
Asteroids frequently brush past our planet. However, Apophis, dubbed the "God of Chaos," may well write a new chapter in this story. NASA and ESA are closely monitoring this
'God of Chaos' asteroid Apophis could still hit Earth in 2029, study hints — but we won't know for 3 more years
New simulations reveal that there is an extremely small chance that the "city-killer" asteroid Apophis could be nudged onto a collision course with Earth by another asteroid before it flies past our planet in 2029.
Asteroid Apophis Won’t Hit Earth in 2029—Unless This Freaky Scenario Plays Out
Asteroid Apophis doesn’t currently pose a threat to Earth when it passes by in a few years, but an astrophysicist has envisioned a scenario where that could change.
Asteroid Apophis has the tiniest chance of hitting earth in 2029 – on a Friday the 13th
Astronomer Paul Wiegert had found a scenario in which Apophis could be sent careening into Earth in 2029. But we’d have to be extremely unlucky.
'God of Chaos' asteroid could be pushed into a collision course with Earth
The results of his study suggest that an object as small as 0.6 meters across could potentially nudge the asteroid onto a collision trajectory post-2029. Astonishingly, an object just 3.4 meters across could strike with enough force to set Apophis on an Earth-collision path by 2029.
Collisions could increase chance of 'God of Destruction' asteroid Apophis hitting Earth
A chance encounter with another asteroid could steer Apophis destructively close to Earth during a future passage.
Asteroid Apophis to hit Earth in 2029 if it collides with other space rocks? What we know
Asteroid Apophis was initially discovered in 2004 and immediately became a talking point as potentially hazardous asteroids, which have widths of 460 feet or more and come within 20 lunar distances of the Earth.
Eyes on Apophis: ISRO is tracking 'God of Destruction' asteroid with a potential 2029 Earth encounter
Apophis, a large asteroid measuring 340-450 meters, will pass within 37,000 kilometers of Earth in April 2029. Though visible to the naked eye, the chance of collision remains low.
Asteroid Apophis Could Strike the Earth If It Collides With Smaller Space Rocks: Study
New research suggests that small asteroid collisions could potentially alter Apophis’s trajectory, raising concerns about future risks.
Fears city-killer ‘God of Destruction’ asteroid could hit Earth as experts warn of deadly deflection
EARTH could collide with its deadly cosmic neighbour, Apophis, an asteroid 1,100ft (335m) wide, should a rare chain event occur, according to a new study. Though it would be a one in a billion
