'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.
Could ‘God of Chaos’ asteroid hit Earth in 2029?
Scientists say an asteroid known as the “God of Chaos” has a slightly increased chance of impacting the Earth in 2029, but only if a very unlikely series of events plays out. Not only that, but if the asteroid,
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.
'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.
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.
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.
Collisions could increase chance of 'God of Destruction' asteroid Apophis hitting Earth
Apophis will come close enough to Earth to be seen with the naked eye in 2029, but a chance encounter with another asteroid could steer 'God of Destruction' space rock destructively close on a future pass.
Odds of asteroid 99942 Apophis striking Earth slightly higher than thought
An astrophysicist at the University of Western Ontario finds that the odds of the asteroid 99942 Apophis striking Earth are slightly higher than previously thought. In his study, published in The Planetary Science Journal,
Asteroid Apophis May Still Have a Small Chance of Hitting Earth in 2029, Study Reveals
The study hints at a slim chance that asteroid Apophis could hit Earth in 2029 due to a potential impact with another asteroid before it passes by.
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
