Asteroid could be pushed into a collision course with Earth
WEB5 days ago · To investigate the chances of Apophis being pushed into Earth’s path, Wiegert began by considering that objects moving at varying speeds and of different sizes result in different courses. The results of his study suggest that an object as small as 0.6 meters across could potentially nudge the asteroid onto a collision trajectory post-2029.
