Originally projected to harmlessly fly past us in a close approach, a new study published in The Planetary Science Journal suggests that there's actually a fraction of a chance that the 1,
'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
