Asteroid To Hit Earth 2025. Scientists at nasa’s jet propulsion laboratory in southern california recently tracked two asteroids as they flew by our planet. There is a slim but overlooked risk that the god of chaos asteroid apophis could hit earth as it makes a super close approach to our planet in 2029, a new study reveals.
Part of nasa’s deep space network, the goldstone solar system radar, near barstow in california, will track the object during its next close pass of our planet, in january. Imagine if scientists discovered a giant asteroid with a 72% chance of hitting the earth in about 14 years — a space rock so big that it could not only take out a city but devastate a whole.
