In just under half a decade, a 1,000-foot-wide (305-meter-wide) asteroid named after the Egyptian god of chaos and destruction, Apophis, will pass within 30,000 miles (48,300 kilometers) of Earth. Scientists don't intend to allow the rare close passage of a space rock of this size...

NASA has issued a warning of a stadium-sized asteroid heading straight towards Earth at high speed. The asteroid about 710 feet wide, comparable to a stadium, will approach the blue planet on October 18. Asteroid 2024 RV50 was discovered on September 1, and belongs to the Apollo group of ...
Apophis was discovered last year and is named after a snakelike Egyptian god of darkness and chaos. The name is appropriate. For a brief period of time last winter, scientists had given Apophis, then known as 2004 MN4, a 1-in-40 chance of colliding with Earth in 2029. Additional observa...
