While it’s likely that the asteroid will harmlessly whiz by Earth, as Apophis is expected to do in 2029 (when multiple spacecraft are expected to study it), it’s crucial for astronomers to ...
In the case of Apophis, further observations eventually allowed astronomers in 2021 to rule out the possibility of an impact when the asteroid makes a close flyby to Earth in 2029 and again in ...

Here are today's general risks from asteroids or comets both tiny and very large. Importantly, even relatively small rocks can still be threatening, as the surprise 56-foot (17-meter) rock that ...
That exceeds the threat once posed by Apophis, a much larger asteroid that was discovered in 2004. Astronomers initially calculated its chances of hitting Earth in 2029 at 2.7 percent. Further ...
