NASA is closely tracking asteroid Apophis, a massive Near-Earth Object that could cause widespread destruction if it collides with Earth.

Washington: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has issued an alert for November 13 as asteroid 99942 Apophis, ominously nicknamed the “God of Chaos,” makes its closest pass by Earth.

NASA is closely monitoring asteroid 99942 Apophis, nicknamed the ‘God of Chaos,’ as it makes a close pass by Earth today. Although Apophis will stay at a safe distance, scientists are studying potential gravitational effects,

The asteroid Apophis, nicknamed the "God of Chaos," is set to pass by Earth on November 13th. While scientists assure it poses no immediate threat, it

When Earth and the hazardous asteroid 99942 Apophis pass by each other in five years’ time, the passage through Earth’s gravitational well could reshape the space rock’s surface. A new paper seeks to predict what that could look like,

A new European Space Agency mission is set to study asteroid Apophis to learn more about how we can handle asteroid threats in the future.

Nasa's Near-Earth Object Studies Center has been closely observing Asteroid Apophis for nearly two decades. Scientists emphasise that there isn't any collision risk till the next hundred years
