Subsequent observation of this city-killer asteroid revealed that Apophis will sail safely past Earth during its 2029 flyby without causing any damage on the surface. However, it would sail past at a distance that’s less than 20,000 miles, which could damage some of our satellites.
With that said, the danger of collision isn’t fully excluded, as external factors—which are bountiful in the sea of stars—could still nudge the city-killer asteroid towards a collision course with Earth, potentially leveling one of its cities and causing massive damage and casualties.
