waht is apophis and what thread does it pose
Answers
As the 325m wide asteroid swings around for another close pass, astronomers have been taking the opportunity to continue learning as much as possible about what was once considered to be the most dangerous object in the sky. When it was discovered in 2004 it looked as if there was a 1 in 300 chance of a collision with the Earth, prompting NASA to ask astronomers to record their observations in an effort to help refine this figure. At one point the odds worsened to 1 in 45.
Fortunately we now know that the odds of a collision are much, much smaller with the chance of a 2036 hit at 1 in 7,143,000. Even so, Apophis is still an object of great interest and due to its orbit is something we will be hearing a lot more about in the coming decades.
i work for nasa but i can tell you apophis will not hit earth and we know this cuz it was found in 1994 and in 2004 then in 2009 and people are scared because of it and in 2009 it was found agen it was going to hit earth in 2020 but all of thos times it did not it it will come clothes to earth in 2029 2036 2067.
