The asteroid Apophis caused some concern in 2004 when scientists thought it might
come dangerously close to the Earth in 2029. However, further research showed that
our planet will be safe from any destructive collision. This image shows the most
likely trajectory (in blue) of Apophis during its close approach in 2029.
