'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,
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 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.
'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.
