'Bennu, Apophis and more': List of NASA's 'Most Wanted' asteroids that could threaten Earth
About 66 million years ago, a city-sized asteroid struck Earth, creating a 100-mile-wide crater in Mexico and causing the extinction of the nonavian dinosaurs.
'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.
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.
'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.
Could ‘God of Chaos’ asteroid hit Earth in 2029?
( NewsNation) — 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.
'God of Chaos' asteroid update as scientists warn it could be pushed into dangerous collision course with Earth
The infamous "God of Chaos" asteroid could be tipped onto a collision course with Earth, scientists have warned. The asteroid, named Apophis, is set to pass by our planet in a few years' time - but in new research,
Stadium-sized asteroid deemed 'potentially hazardous' by NASA, is expected to move 'relatively close' to Earth
A stadium-sized asteroid is expected to pass relatively close to Earth on Tuesday night, NASA announced. Its distance makes it a "potentially hazardous object."
