It now seems plausible that the God of Chaos asteroid might destroy Earth, despite earlier reports dismissing the possibility.
The enormous rock was named the God of Chaos when it was discovered that it had a 2.7 percent probability of destroying our little planet in 2029.
It was originally discovered in 2004 and given the astral designation 99942. Appropriately, the 340-meter-wide asteroid was named after Apophis, the Egyptian god of chaos and devastation.
Though seasoned observers of asteroids concluded that there was little chance it will strike Earth in 2029 or 2036, Paul Wiegert, a Canadian space researcher, has provided an update that contradicts this theory.
Wiegert discovered that an item as tiny as two feet might alter its path in a recent research that she co-wrote and had published in the journal The Planetary Science.
