'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.
An asteroid just hit Earth, but it’s not as bad as it sounds
An asteroid impacted Earth earlier today, just a mere few hours after being discovered by astronomers. Thankfully, it didn't cause any damage.
An asteroid is about to hit Earth - but don't worry, it is only small
A newly spotted asteroid dubbed CAQTDL2 will impact just east of the Philippines. There is no danger from the space rock, which will burn up in the atmosphere and could appear as bright as the moon in
'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.
What If the Largest Asteroid Hit Earth?
Some seriously large asteroids have threatened Earth before. Some of these asteroids have little chance of hitting us but there are a few with very real chances of making contact. What happens if a large asteroid or comet hits Earth?
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 has the tiniest chance of hitting earth in 2029 – on a Friday the 13th
Astronomer Paul Wiegert had found a scenario in which Apophis could be sent careening into Earth in 2029. But we’d have to be extremely unlucky.
Collisions could increase chance of 'God of Destruction' asteroid Apophis hitting Earth
A chance encounter with another asteroid could steer Apophis destructively close to Earth during a future passage.
