99942 Apophis (provisional designation 2004 MN4) is a near-Earth asteroid and a potentially hazardous object with a diameter of 370 metres (1,210 feet) [3] that caused a brief period of concern in December 2004 when initial observations indicated a probability up to 2.7% that it would hit Earth on April 13, 2029.
September 13, 2024 at 10:58 AM. In a bit of ominous news befitting a Friday the 13th: It turns out that the asteroid Apophis could have a very small chance of colliding into Earth in five years ...

A huge asteroid will fly by Earth in April 2029. It won't be close enough to hit us, but it will be close enough to study, so scientists are getting ready. An asteroid will just miss us in 2029.

This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of January 2024, all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors. Asteroid.
Asteroid 2003 BMY, around 120-foot, will also pass by Earth on Thursday at a distance of more than 2 million miles. Finally, asteroid 2024 BP1 , measuring in at around 130 feet, will also pass by ...
The Palermo Technical Impact Hazard Scale is a logarithmic scale used by astronomers to rate the potential hazard of impact of a near-Earth object (NEO). It combines two types of data — probability of impact and estimated kinetic yield—into a single "hazard" value. A rating of 0 means the hazard is equivalent to the background hazard ...
