   Will asteroid Apophis ever hit Earth?

   • That was until a close flyby of the asteroid — a space rock that is almost as wide as the Empire State Building is tall — in March 2021 allowed NASA scientists to determine Apophis actually won't hit the Earth for at least 100 years.

   Will Apophis impact Earth in 2029?

   • Apophis quickly gained notoriety as an asteroid that could pose a serious threat to Earth when astronomers predicted that it would come uncomfortably close in 2029. Thanks to additional observations of Apophis, the risk of an impact in 2029 was later ruled out, as was the potential impact risk posed by another close approach in 2036.

   Could asteroid Apophis hit Earth in 2029?

   • Here’s how it works. There is a slim but overlooked risk that the "God of Chaos" asteroid Apophis could hit Earth as it makes a super close approach to our planet in 2029, a new study reveals. The odds of such a calamitous collision are more than one-in-a-billion — but we won't be able to rule it out for at least three more years.

   How dangerous is asteroid 99942 Apophis?

   • After its discovery in 2004, asteroid 99942 Apophis had been identified as one of the most hazardous asteroids that could impact Earth. But that impact assessment changed as astronomers tracked Apophis and its orbit became better determined.

   What if the asteroid 99942 strikes Earth?

   • If the near-Earth asteroid 99942 Apophis ever strikes Earth, how big would the crater be? On Friday the 13th in April 2029, a 1,000-foot-wide asteroid named Apophis will pass close enough to Earth (within 20,000 miles) to briefly appear as a 3rd-magnitude star in the night sky.

   Sep 21, 2021 · In both cases, a nuclear bomb delivering a fraction of the energy Apophis would likely release exploded over the cities, and about 200,000 people died as a result (according to Newsweek). Apophis would deliver significantly more magnitude of energy than either of the Hiroshima or Nagasaki weapons.
