   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 is the orbital trajectory of asteroid 99942 Apophis?

   • This animation depicts the orbital trajectory of asteroid 99942 Apophis as it zooms safely past Earth on April 13, 2029. Earth’s gravity will slightly deflect the trajectory as the 1,100-foot-wide (340-meter-wide) near-Earth object comes within 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) of our planet’s surface. The motion has been speeded up 2,000 times.

   Will Apophis hit Earth in 2068?

   • Yesterday NASA announced that the already-remote chance of an impact by Apophis in 2068 had been completely ruled out. “Our calculations don’t show any impact risk for at least the next 100 years,” reports Farnocchia.

   How close will asteroid Apophis be to Earth in 2029?

   • On April 13, 2029, the asteroid Apophis will pass less than 20,000 miles (32,000 kilometers) from our planet’s surface – closer than the distance of geosynchronous satellites. During that 2029 close approach, Apophis will be visible to observers on the ground in the Eastern Hemisphere without the aid of a telescope or binoculars.

   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.

   Mar 27, 2021 · The new radar-derived orbit shows that Apophis will pass 288 m (945 feet) farther from Earth in 2029 than had been expected, enough to assure that it will miss the 600-m-wide “keyhole” in near-Earth space that would have deflected it onto a collision course in 2068.
