This is the second entry in 99942 Apophis On the News! Asteroid 99942 Apophis will safely pass Earth in 2029. No impact is possible on that approach.^[1] NASA confirms there is no risk of Apophis hitting Earth for at least 100 years.^[2] The European Space Agency removed Apophis from its impact risk list on 26 March 2021,^[3] after radar observations that month ruled out an impact for at least a century.^[4] On 13 April 2029 the asteroid, roughly 375 metres across,^[5] will pass less than 32,000 km from Earth's surface,^[6] closer than many geosynchronous satellites.^[7] Apophis was discovered in 2004^[8] and was first marked as one of the most hazardous asteroids for Earth.^[9] Years of tracking have since removed that risk. False claims about an Apophis impact are already circulating, and they will grow louder as 2029 nears. This series will track public claims about the asteroid, confirm the true ones and correct the false ones, always measured against this baseline.
