    Is Apophis a threat?
    Discovered in 2004, Apophis is a Near-Earth Object (NEO) that passes close to Earth's orbit. These flybys can cause "astroquakes" and gravitational effects that may impact Earth's atmosphere and surface. While most NEOs are not a threat, Apophis is notable due to its size and proximity.

    Is Apophis a 'near-Earth object'?
    Discovered in 2004, Apophis was soon classified as a "near-Earth object" (NEO), a category that includes asteroids and comets passing close to Earth's orbit. While many NEOs are harmless, Apophis’s size and trajectory mean it could experience gravitational interactions with Earth.

    Is Apophis a dangerous asteroid?
    While initially feared as potentially dangerous upon its discovery in 2004, researchers have now confirmed Apophis poses no collision risk to Earth for at least the next century. A new study led by Ronald-Louis Ballouz from Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has simulated the effects of Earth's gravity on the approaching asteroid.
